My petite little girl!

Hailey weights 14 lb 4 oz. She gained 5 oz. going from 6 months to 7 months. The doc said she seems healthy and it could be that she is just going to be very petite. He added that I need to take in more calories (b/c I'm nursing) and maybe that will help. Hmmm... I'm not so sure about that!! But I decided to drink some milk which may help. (I don't ever drink milk) The only way I will drink it is if I put chocolate syrup in it. So, we'll try that for now and see what happens.

Nowadays Hailey takes two naps. The length varies. Generally her longer nap is in the morning. After she is awake for about an 1 1/2 to 2 hours she is ready for her morning nap. Generally she sleeps for 2 hours, sometimes 3. Her afternoon nap is normally 1 1/2 to 2 hours. She ate baby food for her Mimi yesterday so well! I'm very proud of her. The poo after that was yucky though! Haha... Sean got to change it cause I was making dinner. (Pizza-nini... get recipe at RachaelRayShow.com)

Hailey is still sleeping through the night. Some people said that would change but I think she is pretty set into her routine being that she is 7 months old. She nurses 4 to 5 times a day. It generally takes about 30 minutes give or take. I was hoping she would end up being a quick nurser but she takes her time. That's okay though. =o) I was talking with a friend the other day and she talked about how hard it is (on the mom) when the babies stop nursing so I will cherish the time I have with her at this stage.

Please pray for my mom. She has lymphedema. The doctor is sending her to physical therapy and said that they can stop it from getting worse. This is swelling of the arm and can be extreme pain. Unfortunately, when it swells, it doesn't go down. But, our God is a mighty God and He can heal or he can help us cope. We put our hope and trust in God.

I got a treadmill! Yay!! My parents got it for me for my birthday. It took me a little over a week to pick one out. I couldn't spend a ton of money but wanted to get one with a nice warranty and one that could withstand two people running on it. I got it new at Play It Again Sports in Altamonte. I recommend this store! They are constantly getting a lot of great stuff. So far so good with this one! Time for me to go try it now while Hailey is napping.

Tata!
