15 weeks already!

Man time flies! She's so young but so old! She's ready to get up and go - tired of sitting and laying around. Daycare said she rolled from her front to her back on Wednesday... and this morning she did it for me! She didn't do it Wednesday night though when after reading that update on her paper I immediately put her on her belly and said "roll!"

The sleeping thru the night only lasted thru Monday night - Tues and Wed night she woke up twice! Last night when she woke up I gave her a pacifier and she went right back to sleep! And we woke up at 7am this morning! Yay!

She's a giggly girl these days too. And I think the "solid" foods are going to come soon - she was watching quite intently last night as my food moved from my plate to my mouth. Too cute!

Today I started putting mittens on her hands when she sleeps b/c she's taken to raking her hands across her head - scratching herself - and pulling her hair. So, to prevent further hairloss and a child who looks like she was in a fight with a cat - we're trying the mittens. She doesn't seem to mind them yet, and apparently they taste just as yummy as her hands. :)

The other day my head would not stop itching - no it's not dandruff or lice. It's part of postpartum hormones returning to normal. And I thought - this is not something I was told about. So I made this list...

Things they don't tell you about postpartum life:

• I would still be huge 3 days after delivery
• I could survive on no more than 4 hours of sleep at a time.
• My bellybutton hole would be huge!
• My hair would fall out and my scalp would itch so bad I wanted to tear it off - 3.5 months after delivery!
• I wouldn't watch more than 15 mins of tv at a time.
• I would wear maternity pants for 2 months!
• I would eventually not wear maternity pants but my real clothes still wouldn't fit.
• I would only get 2.5 hours a day with her.
• I wouldn't mind being peed on, spit up on, picking her nose, or wiping her little bottom.
• I would do so much baby laundry!
• The last 10 lbs would be a bitch to lose.
• I would randomly smile uncontrollably during the day
• I would buy diapers in bulk
• I would file her nails everyday and she'd still scratch herself
• I would be so completely in love (well, they did tell me this one, I just didn't understand it completely)

FUN TIMES!!!
