So I am going to try to update every month... Since
Charlotte will be 2 months old in just 2 short days I better post something for
her first month! It was crazy. Daniel started a new job that will keep him
local most of the time but he had to go do his training in Justin. The training
is pretty long and after being home 4 short days after the birth he had to go
back to Houston. I am soooo grateful for my family. My mom and sister, Lori,
took turns staying with me and helping me adjust to my new life as a mother. My
mom was amazing. She cleaned, cooked, and helped so much with sweet Charlotte.
I just pray that I will be the kind of mother to Charlotte that my mother was and
is to me. My mom has always been there for me and is truly my best friend.
Anyways, the first month is kind of a shock to your system. She was latching on
good breastfeeding but the way she was sucking was hurting. So most of the
first month I pumped and got a good supply of milk up and went around 4 weeks
old to see a lactation consultant to try and improve her latch. She does good
but I am still primarily pumping. She starting smiling around 4 weeks and
really reacting to people around 6 weeks. She is such a sweet little spirit and
really is the best baby. She only really gets worked up when she is gassy
and uncomfortable. She is all smiles the rest of the time. She loves her daddy
and they have been quite the snuggle bugs. Lots of mornings I will wake up and
Daniel will have her asleep on his chest. He is an amazing daddy that loves
Charlotte more than anything. Emily is the best big sister and kisses and hugs
on her all the time. She loves to sit and hold her. Charlotte started holding
her head up around 2 weeks and is getting quite good at it now! She is the
light of our lives and is already growing up way to fast!
