Dorothy had an alarming amount of awake time today.
She spent some of it flailing in her gym, her jerky limbs accidentally encountering her hangy toys.
I took lots of pictures of her open eyes
More flaily gym time.
More open eye pictures.
She had some tummy time.
She pooped 8 times and wet 10 diapers.
Ben and I added up all the time she has spent not being held, including car rides home from the hospital and to and from the doctor and 2 blissful showers she has spent in the rock and play: maybe 90 minutes of her life. Otherwise, she's in our arms, on our chests, on her big brothers' laps, or in the Ergo. It's lovely.
When Cooper was born, I gave up caffeine cold turkey. This time? Sweets. I was going to cut chocolate out anyway because it has a history of bothering the babies' tummies, but I went whole-hog and abandoned it all. For "dessert" I have been eating grapes, clementines, or Greek yogurt. It's really hard! I ordered baked goods for Easter next weekend and felt a pang knowing I won't be eating them. Sigh.
Love all her open-eye pictures! From my experiences cutting out sweets, you might try cutting out the fruit too if the cravings don't go away soon. Sugar is sugar and I always have a harder time with moderation/healthier choices than total elimination. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteOh man, I wish you success. I would weigh about thirty pounds less than I do now if I could do that. Maybe one day!
