...6 month Update and more!

Lil' Sweet Pea went to the Dr. today! She is now tipping the scales at... 13 lbs. 9 oz and 26 in long

Here are a few Pics from the last month and the rest of the story...


...The Dr. is a little worried that she isn't gaining enough weight! She has only gained 1 lb since her 4 month appt. He wants to see her back the middle of June to see how she was doing instead of waiting till her 1 year check up! He asked me about her eating & nursing. Which she loves both! She is going to be the 3 year old still nursing I am afraid! He doesn't think that she nurses long enough?! (My daughter is the definition of NOSEY! If something is going on around her she will eat just enough to comfort her for a while and then she is pulling the blanket off to see whats going on. I am not kidding! She is very active and doesn't even stop moving in her sleep, she gets that from her dad!) So he suggested nursing her in a quiet room... We will see?! He wants me to hold off on giving her other solids right now. When we go back in mid June if things still aren't up to par he wants to run some tests to make sure things are working right. Which I am so glad that he is concerned. I have a very GOOD Dr. !

Well let me paint a picture for you...
Olivia just got 3 shots (crying/screaming/cranky), I am by myself and a little upset about the whole weight issue (Nolan had a Business Appt.) and the weather is nasty (that makes me grouchy)! I try and call Nolan, thinking he should be done by now, nope no answer. My mom is at school teaching (can't call her)...My Mother-in-Law is at work, (I don't want to start crying on the phone and her thinking that her son married an idiot!) So what do I do? I call the next best thing to my mom, MY SISTER! She calmed me down and told me things would be fine! I mostly just needed to cry to a Female! (Nolan doesn't understand that?)

I know she is just fine, but I just need reassured sometimes! You know...right?
Being a first time mom is very stressful!
She is the best thing that EVER (well next to her dad)
happened to me!
