The Ramblings Of Jenn Shuey

How is everyone today?  Things around here are pretty quiet today, and that’s unusual for this week.  The little one has been trying to prove to me that she doesn’t think she needs as much sleep as I thought, so she’s been giving me a little trouble with the daytime naps.  That’s made for some very interesting days this week, but it looks like she’s finally given in because she’s sound asleep right now. Now that she’s asleep I figured I”d get some blogging done while I watch the episodes of Intervention that’s on my DVR. Let’s see how many of them actually agree to go into drug rehab. I think I have 3 episodes on there to watch.

Speaking of the little one I can’t wait to see how much she weighs when we go to the doctor.  I know she’s already doubled her weight, but I’m starting to think she’s reaching the 10lb mark because a lot of the newborn clothes that say 5-10lbs are getting tight on her.

I was afraid most of her Christmas outfits wouldn’t fit her because she received a lot of 3M Christmas clothing, but I was wrong.  She’s worn almost every one of those outfits this week, and they all fit her.  Only one was a little big on her, but it’s not huge.  She just has a little extra room to move around in it.  I can’t believe how much she’s grown in 8 weeks, and I’m interested to see if she keeps growing at this rate or if she slacks off on the fast growth now that’s she’s “caught up” to the size she would have been as a full term baby.

As for motherhood I’ve decided the whole thing has turned out to be easier than I thought it would be.  While I was pregnant I was totally freaked out over everything afraid I wouldn’t be able to handle it all.  I was so afraid I’d do everything wrong.  A friend told me that she believed the moms who worried about whether they’d be a good mom or not were the ones who are good moms.
