12 days old and exciting news!

So it's been 12 days since I delivered this little bundle.My how life has changed! It really has not been a difficult adjustment back to day-to-day life. I am required to sit down and feed her every 2-3 hours, change about 10 more diapers a day and really look forward to nap time more than ever. I feel surprisingly great. Everyone keeps asking me how I feel and I honestly feel like myself again. There are women out there that just LOVE being pregnant. They talk about how great they feel and they are so happy and content while pregnant and are sad to see it end. I'm the opposite. From conception (yes that early) to delivery I can't wait to get it over with. My body aches, my moods are unpredictable, I can't sleep and I just plain don't feel good for 40 weeks. I enjoy feeling a baby move inside me, I enjoy knowing that I am going to hold a beautiful addition to our family but other than that, it is certainly not my idea of a good time. The first few days after I had her were a roller coaster but now, I feel great. I don't feel like I just gave birth. Seriously, everything is good.

We went to the Dr today because Miah has started projectile puking. I'm not talking a little puke I'm talking shooting out a foot in front of her covering everything in site with unreal amounts of barf. So after a few days of that, we took her in and they prescribed baby-Zantac. We just gave her the first dose today so not sure if it's helping or not, I'll let you know. But, they also weighed her and I was right, she is getting chubbier! She weighs 7lb 1/2 oz! Nearly a pound since birth!
A few "I told you so's..." While I was pregnant with her I kept telling people she was such a mover and sometimes it felt like she was fighting her way out. Everyone thought I was exaggerating. But they finally get it when they hold her now! When you hold her, she is such a wiggle worm. When she is awake she is such a mover. Constantly turning her head to see where noises and voices are coming from. Her legs are always kicking and her arms are always reaching. She grabs everything she can get her paws on (she has big pretty hands). Also, she has been smiling since like 2 days old. My mom was holding the little wiggle worm tonight and goes, "She really is smiling at me isn't she" YES this baby smiles!!! At 12 days old she is social smiling. When she is sleeping really deep she will smile and giggle. It's so cute. I can't wait til she does it conciously!
The next big thing- after 6 weeks at his job in an "Entry" level position Mickey has been PROMOTED! Yes, is now a Coordinator! Starting Thursday he will be co-supervisors over 4 groups homes in charge of the staff while the other coordinator is in charge of the clients that live in the homes. What does this mean- a raise and traditional hours of Mon-Fri 8-5 with periodic "on call" time. We are so excited! He is also now officially in "management" which will get his foot in the door for further advancement. Congrats babe!! I am so proud of you!!
