What day is it?

No, just joking...I have been a mom for about three weeks now and I think that I am finally feeling more confident about my abilities. I have great friends who have given me such great advice lately. I Praise the Lord that each day I learn something new that helps Sophia.

Our baby girl is doing very well. She now weighs 8.6 pounds, has a healthy appetite and loves to be held (all the time lol!).

I have gotten a little more sleep than last week which is good. My blood pressure is still elevated, which is probably due to the lack of sleep. On good thing is that I have lost 34 pounds since 9/22. I know that I should not be too concerned with weight loss until after the 6-8 week mark, but I hope that this trend continues until I get back to healthier weight. I am not looking for drastic results. I want to lose the weight the right way and slowly over time so that it stays off. I'll have more posts on my progress!

Craig is enjoying his Fall Break this week. He was able to take yesterday off to spend at home with Sophia and I. We watched movies, a couple of tv shows on hulu and watched Sophia together. Craig isn't getting much sleep either. He has been taking over when I need a break or want to sleep for a few hours. He is so good with Sophia.

Wishing you a great weekend!
