Friend Shower

Auntie Ayesha & Auntie Heidi did a beautiful thing and had another shower for Baby Sophia on Sunday afternoon. It was such a beautiful get together with Terra (a friend I have known since Kindergarten) and Shannon, Lindsay, and Rachel. Sophia wore her little red sparkly mary jane's... ready to party! Baby got so many beautiful presents... so many new clothes. In the next couple of days I'll be annoying my little daughter and dressing her up for a fashion show! O the torture! Here are some photo's from the evening!

Doing Great...

We had our update appointment on Thursday and baby is up to birth weight!!! 12 oz in one week! Her chubby cheeks are back!!! So we are going to cut back on supplementing and try to challenge the boobies... we can do it.

On Thursday... Sophia and I conquered the world!!! We finished our Xmas shopping, nursed in the Coquitlam Center parking lot, went to our nursing appointment, went to the spa (baby's first spa date) for a brow wax, and then did grocery shopping all before 4:30... Hilarious!

Grandma & Grandpa Robinson have blessed their children with a trip to CABO for their Xmas presents!!! We leave on the 5th of January!!!! So today Matthew, Sophia & I are going to get our pics taken for our passports! We will see how that goes!!!!

Some Pictures from the Past Month!

1 Month Happy Birthday...

One Month Birthday! It has gone by so quickly... and both Matthew and I feel like we can't remember life without her. Totally cliche but true.  The first few weeks we were sick and those days were incredibly hard. I found that I was struggling a little with the baby blues and some pain. But, those weeks passed and Sophia seemed to be doing good, but she wasn't seeming to gain much weight. She was also fussing and wasn't seemed happy after feeds. So after not gaining her birth weight back after two weeks we checked her out a couple of days ago. It turned out that she was loosing weight... so today we went to the lactation consultant who said we should supplement and also put me on domperidone (to help with milk supply). She was concerned that Sophia didn't have enough strength to eat and therefore my milk supply was dwindling. So hopefully that all helps... Looking forward to some chubby cheeks!
