Emerson Quinn // One Month

Tiara — Fri, 27 Feb 2015 12:19:00 +0000

Girlfriend is one month and I can’t believe it.

Weight + Height | She’s growing like a weed! We had our one month check up today and she was 8 lbs 10 oz and 20.5 inches!

Health | She has a clean bill of health, but some how has hiccups after every feeding. Oh and girlfriend has gas. According to her pediatrician it’s because of my high fiber diet. I guess I need to cut back on kale salads and spinach smoothies.

Sleep | At this point we get at least one four hour stretch at night then she’s up two to three hours later. We officially started baby wise this week. It’s been interesting.

Eat | All breast milk. However, as of today we’re starting to supplement with formula since I can’t keep up with her demand and we’re out of our frozen supply from when she was in the NICU. We’ll see how that goes.

Wear | She’s wearing 0-3 month now. I couldn’t believe that in just days she out grew her newborn clothes.

Social | My mother-in-law (aka Nana) was in town all last week. It was really great having her here. My sister and brother get into town tonight.

Baby Gear | The Summer Infant SwaddleMe Adjustable Infant Wrap is a lifesaver! Emerson sleeps in one every night. We’re also loving Satsuma Designs Baby Mittens they don’t fall off — ever.

Milestones | Tuesday was our first entire day all by ourselves! We went and had lunch with our friends at the Blue Angel Cafe.

We’re making progress with tummy time. Emerson is doing great turning her head from side to side. She even rolled over twice.

Postpartum | This mama is feeling great! I had my three week check up last week and to my surprise already hit my pre pregnancy weight! I’m still soft and am hoping at my appointment next week I’m cleared for full activity. Until then I’m still logging miles daily walking.

Emerson Quinn // Two Weeks

Tiara — Fri, 13 Feb 2015 20:47:00 +0000

Happy Friday!

So I had every intention on posting Emerson’s birth story and nursery reveal this week, but I was busy getting my snuggles in and before I knew it she turned two weeks! Moving forward I plan on posting monthly updates, but I felt I needed to celebrate her first week at home. It was a successful week at that.

This was the best photo. She kept rolling on me. HA!

Weight

At our one week check up she was back at her birth weight, a even 7 lbs and measured 19.5 inches.

Health

She’s doing great! The pediatrician was pleased with the cooling out come and we are too! Now that we are home so far so good. She’s a pooping and peeing machine.

Sleep

Girlfriend likes to sleep and we’re lucky she sleeps through the night. Hoping I didn’t just jinx myself.

Eat

All breast milk. We actually do a combo of breast feeding and bottle feeding. While we were at UC Davis Children’s Hospital we were only able to bottle feed so I got really good at pumping. Once we brought our girl home we started on breast feeding and have been successful. However, I ‘m starting to feel as though I’m not producing enough.

Wear

Nothing but newborn clothes. 0-3 months are still too big.

Social

We had a number of visitors this week. It felt great to see friends. She even had her first date with her future bf Wyatt.

Baby Gear

Other than the boppy pillow for nursing we’re loving the Summer Infant SwaddleMe Microfleece Wrap, Boba Wrap and Rock n’ Play.

Milestones

Passing all her tests and being discharged from the hospital.

Postpartum

Things seem to be healing well. I have a check up next week so we’ll see. Fingers crossed I’ll be cleared to start working out. Not sure what I weigh, but I think it’s safe to say I only need to shed five or so pounds and tighten up a bit.

It’s still very surreal that we’re now responsible for a little person. We’re just smitten. The weather has been gorgeous and we’ve been able to get outside for a few long walks. It feels great to get out and move.

Checkin in from Colorado

Tiara — Fri, 28 Dec 2012 01:42:00 +0000

Hello from the great state of Colorado.

I took a few days off to enjoy family and of course Christmas. Just thought I would check in and say we made it. Lots of fun CO updates next week. In the meantime don’t forget to enter my giveaway from GlassesUSA.com here, there’s still a few days left.

And we’re off to Utah today to ski before heading back to Tahoe. Rumor has it there’s four feet of snow in the driveway. Wish us luck.
