March 4th, 18 Days Old, Baby Zoe is such a precious baby girl!

My mom gave me and baby Zoe flowers and a balloon when you were born!

The Hughes family gave us a floral arrangement when you were born!

And, Daddy got us some Valentines!!!

So this is what I looked like one week before Baby Zoe was born and two weeks after she was born! Not bad for not doing anything:-) I still have 6 pounds to lose before I am back at pre-pregnancy weight, but like I tell everyone.... I am not in a hurry and do not plan on training until it has been 6 weeks or more since delivery! I figure my body has been changing over 9 months, why would I rush my body while it is healing and reordering itself!

Dear Baby Zoe,

I has been almost 3 weeks since we have met you! You are the greatest gift from God above! We are so blessed to have such a precious, beautiful, and healthy baby girl! Each and everyday is a land mark in my eyes and I will continue to appreciate each one we get! Thank you for being the answer to our prayers! We will keep watching over you and making sure you are nurtured in every way possible.

Love Mommy!

Here are some things that have taken place in the last 3 weeks!

• You were born on Valentines Day, with the help of a good friend Danielle as our nurse! Methodist Hospital





• Your new friend was born 6 hours after you





• You Grandma Lori, Grandma Rhonda, Grandma Tina, Grandpa Joseph, Uncle Jeff, Cousin Janene, Cousin Aaron, Aunt Zerique all came to see you in the hospital!





• You had a EKG and Echocardiograph done on your heart because you have a VSD heart murmur (3mm hole), we have a check up appointment soon to see if it has gotten smaller. Mommy and daddy were so worried for you, mommy probably over worried!





• You met your pediatrician and have seen him twice already!





• You were 7 pounds and 20.5 inches at your 2 week appointment (gained 9 ounces since you left the hospital)





• At 17 days you were 8 pounds, yay for picking up breastfeeding better!





• Janene and Aaron came to visit you at our house!





• Mary and Chris came to visit you at our house, 3 times so far.





• You helped mommy doggy sit "Black Dog" for Mary and Chris.





• You finally slept 2 days in a row from 12:30am to about 5:30am, thanks to Mylicon and the vacuum! lol





• You took a few naps in your crib and got to listen to the sounds of all the birds outside your window!





• You can pick up your head on tummy time and move it from left to right!





• You have used your swings, bouncers, playmats, and playard!





• You went on your first walk around the neighborhood with mommy and daddy in your jogger stroller!





• You visited Target, Tmobile, Walmart, Babiesrus, Costco, and a few restaurants for the first time!





• You make the cutest sounds when you sleep!





• You prefer to sleep next to mommy or on mommys tummy during the night and most nap times since your have been showing the signs of your colic. You can tell when mommy tries to put you on your back anywhere besides near her, by crying instantly or within 3 minutes. Mommy loves you and will hold you whenever, but wants you to be able to lay by yourself also:-) We will work on that this week!
