3 weeks old, 8lbs 5oz

Yesterday Aubrey turned 3 weeks old (wow, time does fly). She now weighs 8lbs, 5oz. I think she is storing food in her checks for winter!!! Doctor is very happy with her progress and cannot believe that her weight is so good with breastfeeding. She is still a happy baby and does very well on road trips!

feeling better

these last few days have been interesting. I started my high blood pressure medicine on Friday and I have been tired ever since!!! While my body has been trying to get used to the medicine, I have been feeling sluggish and drugged up. I have been able to sleep every possible opportunity so that helped. Monday I came down with a 24 hour bug so i have been recovering from that too! Today is Wednesday and I am starting to feel normal again! My friend Laura was here for a few days and we were able to get out of the house this morning and take one of our dogs to the vet (big outing, I know)!!! I have been up all day and feel great so the outlook is good!
Aubrey on the other hand has been GREAT! She is an angel baby! I must have done something right in my life, because God is being very generous to me now! She is so pleasant and very alert. She just will lay in your arms and look around. My favorite thing is when she is sleeping she starts to smile really big... I believe she is talking to her pap paw :)

Well, she had a cute halloween outfit on today and I was going to take a picture. Just didn't do it in time because she spit up on it!!! Needed an outfit change so I will take pictures soon!!!

What a day we have had

Today we got to spend all morning at doctors appointments. First, mommy had her appointment to check her blood pressure. Since it was still high, reading 130/110, Doc Payne decided to put her on medicine. She is still retaining water so with more fluids and these pills, she should be better in no time! Doc Payne took her off bed rest (which you will see ended up a busy day for me with all kinds of trips to the stores after our appointments)!!!
I had my appointment with my doctor and guess what I weigh... drumroll please... 7lbs, 14oz. The doctor was amazed! I am doing VERY well with breastfeeding and she is very happy!
Daddy was proud of both his girls today!!! After our appointments Daddy went to work and mom and I went to Office Max, PetsMart, Target and Rite Aide. I think mommy was so excited to be out of the house that we had to go everywhere!!! I slept the entire time so it didn't bother me! Once we were done, we went home and napped some more! Now we can enjoy our friday night and the rest of the weekend!
Much love to all my new friends,
Aubrey Lynn
