3 weeks

Ok so I am a little late a whole day. Leah is now 3 weeks and she has grown so much. I can tell her head has grown because it is so heavy when she is nursing.and she has put on some weight. She can scream and threw her hands and kick her feet like crazy  when she is tried and just want to go to sleep but does she no she likes to give mommy a run for her money. Keeping me up for hours at night crying. We did have one good night this week she slept from 10-5 and I have been trying everything I did that night to get her to do the same but no she has own ideas on how she wants her night to go. I know everyone saids babies dont start sleeping through the night until 6 weeks but does it hurt to try earlier then that. Leah is getting stronger at holding her head up. She sleeps so much better on her stomach or side. At first when my mom put her on her stomach I almost lost it but then she said she is going on 5 hours of sleep. So now I put her on her stomach or side. she will sleep longer and harder.

She so cute!!!!

Crazy hair due after her bath.

2 wk olds

Leah is two weeks old today. She is such a good baby she still has her nights and days some what mixed up. At her 2wk check up she weighted 7 Lbs 10 oz. She has such a cute little smile and she make funny noises that Jason loves to laugh at. She makes a lot of noise when she sleeps. Breastfeeding is getting better slowly. Only getting a couple hours of sleep a night is really hard I try to nap during the day but thats hard for me to do.

Leah's First Halloween

Saturday my mom, Leah and I went shopping it was fun great to get out of the house. I didnt want to get Leah a costume I couldnt find one I liked and wanted to spend lots of money on since she doesnt really fit into anything but newborn clothes so my mom found a princess hat and I have a cute outfit to dress her up and get pictures. The pictures didnt turn out the way we want she wasn't having any of it.

This one is about the only one we could get that she was happy.

Hope everyone had a great/safe Halloween.

Leah Rachel Briggs

Thats right we have finially come up with a name for our little girl after 5 days. It was the hardest things we had to do but I think it is the right name for her. She is the sweetest she has her days and nights all mixed up we stay up all night feeding and changing diapers and watching tv just her and I. I am very worn out. and the whole change in hormones sucks I cry over the little things like now here comes the tears. I try to hold them in but I know its not good so I let them know then I cant stop. Today Jason and I are taking Leah out to her first outing to the doctors. I hope the trip goes good. I just hope she doesnt need to be fed while we are out I dont know I feel about breastfeeding in front on people I dont know. So wish us good luck. and enjoy the pics.

Welcome Baby Girl Briggs!!

Our little girl was born Oct. 22 nd 2009 at 1231pm at St. Joseph Medical Center by Donna Payne-Synder. She weighted in at 7 lbs 7 oz. 20 in long. She is such a good baby. She eats very well. We brought her home friday 10-23. She loves to sleep in her swing. The girls (dogs) dont seem to care to much about her yet. They will watch her in the swing then look at us like what is that? Red doesnt like the swing she will not walk by it if it is moving. Jason is such a great daddy always making sure she eats every two to three hrs. He loves to sit and look at her. And no we havnt come up with a name its a hard one for us. Well I will post later with pics. Better eat so I can feed the little girl next.

Wk 39 and 5 days to go

I had my doctors appt on monday with a non-stress test. The test went a longer then the first one she was not very active that early in the morning. I was still dilated to 1cm and 70% (-2 whatever that means.) I keep telling Jas that she is just like him stubborn. My midwife doesnt think she is coming this wk and maybe not on her due date. So here we sit waiting for her arrival. She will come out when she is good and ready. Thats what Jason and I have decieded on. I will keep everyone update as soon as I know something. I have another appt monday Oct 26th (her due date) with another NST. So hopefully we will have more info for everyone.

Wk 38

So Today marks wk 38 only two more until her due date but she might come early its hard telling. My midwife has ordered me to be off work until the end. It is pretty boring sitting at home I can only clean so much and sit for as long. Jason and I are still trying to decide on a name for our little girl. We have a faw but its hard to making that decision. So we will have to wait until she gets here. If you have any ideas hit me up with them and I tak with Jas about them and maybe what we name her.
