7 Weeks

The sweetest Minnie button ever!! 

Weight:  10.13 pounds

Sleep: At the beginning of the week she was getting a 6-7 hour stretch…and then a growth spurt hit. We are lucky to get one 4 hour stretch. Yuck.

Clothes: She is way too big for newborn! 3 months are too big but we somehow don't have many 0-3 and I decided it wasn't worth buying a ton of those for a short period of time. 

Visitors: Hmmm no one new this week.. I don't think.

Out and About: Baby's first Halloween! Hopefully I'll get a separate post for that one.

Baby Gear Love:  
The woombie! It's the best swaddler out there. It stretches so they can move around but keeps them swaddled.

Crying:  
She did a lot of crying over the weekend during the growth spurt but she is doing much better now. Poor Jamie thinks all she does is cry but I swear she doesn't!

Diet: Exclusively breastfed. I'm proud to say she's been exclusively breastfed for 7 weeks and it hasn't been the easiest. I know I'll make it until I go back to work and I'm really hoping I don't have to supplement when I go back to work but we will see. Jackson is a perfectly healthy and smart formula baby so no hard feelings towards formula either. I have started limiting my dairy intake because her tummy has been really upset and it seems to be helping. 

Milestones:  
More smiles and talking!

Postpartum: I have made it two runs- one with the double jogger (holy moly arm workout) and one sans kiddos.. my whole body is so SORE. I'm also trying to do some core workouts. No new weight loss (sigh) but everything seems to be tightening up a bit. I still refuse to diet quite yet.. And what the heck where is this whole breastfeeding weight loss?! LIES!! I'm losing weight the same as Jackson and I had weaned him at this point. BABY brain has totally hit. And I'm tired this week- this growth spurt got me.

 She really is as sweet as candy corn! I just love her so much!
