Ahh! Where has the time gone?! Our baby girl is 8 weeks old and my maternity leave is about to come to an abrupt halt as of Monday May 1st. I can't believe my all-day time with her is coming so quickly to an end. Maternity leave really sucks in this country! I was lucky to get what I got and have it be paid, but it sure isn't enough time at all in my eyes.
Georgia has grown leaps and bounds since she was born. She's smiling, making some noises, and never stops squirming! She is so alert these days and often times skips out on her naps if I don't help her go down. She has a serious love affair with ceiling fans right now and can stare at them for literal hours. We love all the little faces she makes. Her hair is still coming in and is staying a darker/auburn color. I can't wait to see it maybe lighten up a bit this summer and continue to fill in.

Most of the time she's still sleeping the days away, but she spends more time awake than ever. We've been going for walks a lot and she usually falls right to sleep as soon as I start pushing the stroller. I've been doing yoga all month at the Y with my mom so my step dad has been watching her every morning for me. It's been nice to get some exercise in, I can definitely feel myself getting more flexible and it feels awesome to be practicing yoga again.
Georgia had her 2 month wellness check and she is 2' tall already (96th percentile, aka. she is tall!), she weighs 11 lbs 9.5oz (54th percentile), and her head circumference is 39.25cm (76th percentile, aka. she's a smart cookie with a big brain!) she's growing well and her growth curve is right on. We did end up vaccinating her (please leave all negative comments/judgements out of your comments) and she did such a great job. I definitely had tears in my eyes hearing her cry like she did.
Currently she is wearing newborn pants but cannot fit in any newborn body suits or sleepers anymore. I spent an afternoon putting most of those smaller things away in a tote and it was so sad! She fits best in 0-3 month of most brands, although Carter's 3 month stuff fits her well. Cat & Jack and Oh Joy! seems to run a bit bigger. Right now we just try things on and see if they work! I put bows on her everyday and love putting her outfits together! So fun! She is also between newborn and size 1 diapers, but should be moving into size 1 permanently soon, once I run out of newborn diapers we are done with those too. She is able to suck on her pacifier herself pretty well and only needs help every so often. We just transitioned her into her Halo Bassinest from the Dockatot this week and so far so good!
Georgia also officially has a second biological sister, little miss Hadley, who is almost 2 months to the day younger than her! We are so happy for our donor and her family on their new addition, we cannot wait to get these kiddos together in person someday.
We love our peach more and more every single day, she's becoming such a fun little babe and watching her grow has been incredible!

She's so stinking cute, I can't believe she's already 2 months. I love all her little outfits you put her in. Thinking of you heading back to work Mon! I agree on the maternity leave. I have 8 weeks unpaid, was only supposed to be 6 but we got 2 more. I just try not to think about it because it is what it is, but I know it's sure going to fly.
ReplyDeleteShe is so cute!!! How did this happen that she is 2 months already?? Wow. I was blessed with 12 weeks paid leave, I know so many women have to take unpaid leave. Still doesn't seem like enough time. Shots are no fun but I was thankful Bowen did well and has done well each time.
ReplyDeleteGoodness they grow so fast! What an absolute cutie!
ReplyDeleteShe is pure perfection!!
