Second time around... life with a newborn

The first night in the hospital
Bonding with her Daddy



Awake time 
Teeny tiny feet

Burrito time

Sleepy time

It's all coming back to us now... life with a newborn. I've been on the 3 a.m. shift for feedings so that's fun... not. It's fine when she's cooperative and falls right back to sleep. I hope that happens tonight!

Anyway, Zoey is doing well. She is supposed to go 3 hours between feedings but often is starved at 2.5 hours so we feed her early. She's mellow when held and calmer with feedings than her brother was.

Zack loves being a big brother so far. He adores his little sister and wants her to be awake more often so he can interact with her. He especially loves tummy time and getting grossed out by seeing her diapers. I said "Zoey has a special treat for you..." and he came over and looked and saw the dirty diaper- yuck!

Zoey is such a happy baby.  She is drooling a lot these days. She tries to pick up the shapes and patterns on the crib sheets and pack and play sheets. It's pretty funny. Zack is definitely her favorite person followed closely by everyone else. She makes it through the night waking up once, sometimes twice. Zoey is going to be participating in a research study soon that is looking at the brain and development in infants. Hopefully she'll be a cooperative participant. Smiles! Sticking out her tongue Watching the Superbowl together Happy Valentine's Day from Zoey! We are giving her teachers valentines with this picture of her.

At her 2 month checkup, Zoey weighed 10 pounds and was 22 inches long. Zoey seems to like daycare and they love her there. She has become increasingly alert and her face lights up when she hears our voices or she sees us. She loves her playmat and is "talking" up a storm. She has a lot to say and can be quite loud. We love our little cutie pie!

Finally picked a middle name

We finally decided on a middle name, after much deliberation. She will be Zoey Renee. No dots or accents, however if you did them it would look like this emoji: :/ which I think is funny. It feels like major progress to have the middle name now.  I signed up for 2 sets of exercise classes. The first set is a prenatal cardio class that has to be taken before 32 weeks. I will be finishing it just under the wire. After that I will take a more relaxed prenatal yoga class that will go all the way until the week before my due date. I took a prenatal yoga class when I was pregnant with Zack but I took it much earlier in the pregnancy. By the end of the pregnancy I believe it will be valuable, particularly when I'm not sure how much stretching and exercise I can do safely on my own. Clearly I will no longer be swimming by fall, although the weather will be more pleasant for walking. I'm trying to do a day or two a week of lunch exercise with coworkers too. I am definitely feeling lim
