6 Weeks Old

I'M 6 WEEKS OLD!

Tomorrow Lily will be 6 weeks old! I can't believe how fast this time is going! I had my 6 week postpartum checkup today...all is well. My incision is all healed up and strong. I was given the okay today to RUN! A few hours after my appointment I headed to Lake Zorinsky and jog/walked 4 miles...it felt great and it was so nice to be outside in the fresh air. I know 4 miles is a long ways from 26.2, but it is a start and I WILL get there again! My goal is to be ready to run in the Lincoln Marathon in May. Lincoln was my first official race a year and a half ago. I can't wait until Lily is a little bigger and the weather gets nice again so I can take her out on the trail with me. Lily seems to be growing before our very eyes. Jason and I are having so much fun with her. As far as the sleep department goes she had a GREAT night last night. Lily slept from 11:00pm-2:30am, got up and ate, slept again from 3:00am-8:00am, got up again to eat, and slept AGAIN from 8:30am-11:30am! I couldn't believe it! She is up to eating 4 ounces at a time. I am still breastfeeding, but mostly pumping and giving it to her by bottle. I am not able to always pump a full 4 ounces (this has been an ongoing battle for me) so I complete her feedings with formula. I do still nurse her a few times a day, but she just doesn't get enough from me and is not content. I have posted some pics of Lily one day shy of being 6 weeks old...ENJOY!

Lily all pretty in purple...Abby W. gave this cute outfit to Lily after she was born. This kid has so many clothes...I try so hard to get her in all of them before she outgrows them! She is currently wearing 3 month sizes.

This is Lily in her swing. It is amazing how much she has changed in the last week. Just 2 weeks ago she could not see the owls on the top of her swing. Tonight she just STARED at them and smiled and laughed...it was so neat to watch her.

A happy baby girl in her swing.
