3 weeks old!

Look who is 3 weeks old!

She's getting so big!

Hug, please!

This is my shocked face! ...already a drama queen!

Check those chubby cheeks!

Umm.... I could just eat her up!

Miss. Avery... you are adorable! You fit so seamlessly into our lives! It's hard to imagine life without you even though you've only been here 3 weeks! You're a sweet baby. You're a snuggler and sure do love to be held. If you're in the nap nanny, boppy or mamaroo and you're awake, you expect to be talked to or you get bored. Such a girl! I LOVE your red hair and sure do hope it sticks around. Between your poppi and mimi, we've got a good chance you'll keep it.

You're growing like a weed and have already outgrown some newborn sleepers and onesies. Cute clothes, here we come! I'm sure your major growth has everything to do with the fact that you'd nurse 23 out of the 24 hours in the day if I'd let you. In between when you think you're hungry, I try to soothe you with your paci. You had a meltdown in Target today and I had to nurse you in the car. Of course every single car around us "turned over" at least once while I was nursing you, meaning about 8 strangers saw my boobs today. That will teach me to put the nursing cover back in the car after I wash it! Opps!

I'm holding you, typing with one hand while you smile those drunken milk smiles. LOVE it...even if they aren't "real" smiles yet. You've started spitting up and my hair is your very favorite target!I had forgotten about the spit up baths your brother used to give me! I see a lot of pony tails and laundry in my future!

Love you, baby girl!

22 weeks!

This one is dark but I think I look glowy :)

Looking less, glowy but you can actually see the bump a bit better

How far along: 22 weeks 1 day
Total weight gain/loss: + 10 pounds. I told the dr this week that I felt like a houseboat and she assured me I was fine. WHEW.
Maternity clothes:In this picture, I'm not wearing maternity clothes but the jean skirt was a bit big before pregnancy.... it is perfect now!
Sleep: You like to dance at bedtime which is making it harder to fall asleep but once I do fall asleep, I sleep HARD! I do still have crazy dreams, though!
Best moment this week: I bought a serger to make you pretty clothes with nice seams!
Movement: You tumbled for 2 hours straight last night. I think you flipped yourself head down.
Cravings: I've eaten egg burritos twice this week. I NEVER eat eggs. 
Gender: GIRL! Avery Madison Wise!
Labor Signs: No. Thank the Lord!
Belly Button in our out? In!
What I miss: Feeling certain I can handle two kids. Parker has been a MESS this week and it's making me doubt my abilities to handle two!
What am I looking forward to? Your bedding coming in!
Milestones: You're 11 inches long (a spaghetti squash!)  and you weigh about 1 pound!

SO what have I been up to....... lots and lots of sewing and nose wiping! Parker has a cold so we've been home most of this week. I've fought my house arrest stir craziness by sewing and decorating. I finished your tissue paper flower "mobile" and hung them. I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out but the pictures don't do it justice.

Your car seat cover also came in and it's PRECIOUS! Parker has taken a fancy to your car seat and enjoys using it as his personal toddler recliner.

I also sewed a nursing cover today that turned out better than I expected! I love it! I sure hope you don't flip out when we use it because I'm not a nurse in public without some cover kind of girl.

Love ya bunches!!!!!!!
