Since Lexi is sleeping in her swing for the moment I thought I would post a quick blog. I know some experts say you shouldn't let babies fall asleep in a swing, but you know what if it makes them feel good then why not. I really don't think its going to make her want to sleep in it all the time. Anyways lets see Lexi is now 7 weeks old and the time is just passing so quickly. I love every minute I get to spend with her. She can be a pretty fussy baby, but I think that kind of thing just comes with the territory. She has one strong appetite, she still likes to eat every two hours. Although in the evenings its closer to every hour. She was sleeping really good like a 5 hour stretch at night, but then I started taking fenugreek a herb to increase my milk supply. Lets just say I stopped taking that after a couple of days because she was not liking it. It's crazy how much of what I eat effects her. Just yesterday she made her first real cooing sounds "OOOO". She also did her first real intentional grab. She grabbed my mom's thumb. I wasn't there to see it (I was in the shower), but my mom took a pic. I think she has started her grabbing phase because right after that she started pulling on my hair. Let me tell you she has one strong grip. Oh last week we went to the lactation consultant and Lexi got weighed and she is now 8lbs 14oz. She is growing to fast. I try not to think about going back to work because I still have a little over 2 months left so I'm just going to enjoy the time I have with her.
She has her 2 month checkup coming up on Feb. 2 and I'm not looking forward to it. She has to get her first shots, three of them. I love her doc though she is super nice and has a 10 month old son herself so I feel even more comfortable knowing she just went through all this stuff.
Oh lexi just reminded me right now of something. One thing I learned is that when they are sleeping and wake up sometimes crying they are not always really waking up. Alot of the time it is just them waking up briefly, but then if you wait a minute they will fall back asleep on their own....My mom, Lexi, Toots, and I have gone on a few walks and although lexi has pretty much slept through all of them, I have loved them. I now we need rain, but I sure have enjoyed the weather we have had recently. Thanks to those who made it possible for me to get the Bob stroller it truly is great! I know lexi will enjoy it too once she stays up long enough. :) These walks were the first time I have got to jog with toots because I was always prego before. I swear that dog was born to run.
My whole life revolves around Lexi and I love it. I am just so blessed to have her as my daughter!

P.S. Thanks to my fam for always helping out I love ya!
