Baby Wearing Mama!
So Izzy is a bit more high maintence than Jessica was. Both girls only wanted mama, but Izzy is also colicky, and being with Mommy is the only way to be ;)
Luckily I learned, quickly, how to nurse Izzy in the sling or my mei-tei carrier.
I have been carrying her around while I work, do dishes, cook meals, take kids potty, shop, baseball games. You name it. I have also been able to nurse her while carrying her while cooking, walking around the farmers market, walking home from the Padres game, and enjoy a bbq- with no one having a clue! Yes, thankfully I also have the hooter hider which comes in very handy ;)

I love (and loved it with Jessica) wearing my babies. Though it is pretty killer on the back- I can't wait till I can go and get a massage!!!!
A few pictures of this Baby Wearing Mama
The first few are from the Padres game we went to for Great Grammy's bday
Nursing her as we walk to the car:
She got a pin that said "My First Visit to Petco Park." Notice she also had a binky in! One of the few times I've been able to get her to keep one............... (another reason she's more high maintence!)
Family pic! I have to find the picture I have of me carrying Jessica in the exact same outfit at her first Padre game!
Shopping at Target. My first big outting after having Izzy. She was a little over a week. Maybe two weeks here

Isabella at One Month
can you believe Izzy is one month old today?! Craziness I tell ya!!!!

At One Month Izzy is
Almost 13 pounds. Girlfriend has been gaining weight like you wouldn't believe!
Has gone stretches of 7 hours between feedings- hoping this means she'll be a good sleeper like Jessica and sleeping 11 hours by 5 months!
Still has black hair, and a widows peak she apparently inherited from her mother :)
Looks like a Adams baby for sure!
Big Blue eyes that she's keeping open for longer and longer
She's a great sleeper, I swear she sleeps like 23 hours a day some days
She is also a projectile vomiter. Its awesome
She makes all the sweet, silly newborn sounds that her big sister finds HILARIOUS
Started her in cloth diapers around 2 1/2 weeks, but had to go back to disposables because her umbilical cord was not falling off. FINALLY feel off at 4 weeks exactly.
Jessica loves her baby sister so much. But has had some difficulty sharing mommy.....
Starting to push her head up to look around. Always looks surprised when doing so
Smiling in her sleep, and when she's awake occasionally. I don't think she knows she's doing it though, but I do know it is NOT gas
She recognizes Mommy, Daddy and big Sister Jessica's voices. She stops crying when she hears Jessica come into the room
Has yet to sleep in her bassinet. We're gonna start working on that......
Starting to take a binky!
She's the most precious baby girl and her Mommy, Daddy and big Sister are all so happy she's here and love her sooooo soooo much!
