2 Weeks Old

Dallas is now 2 1/2 weeks old! We are starting to finally get into a routine and things are getting a little easier. She just had her 2 week check up this morning, and she weighs 7lb 14oz and is 20 inches long. The doctor said she is very alert for a newborn.

Aww such a cute picture! Little do you know, she threw up ALL over herself about 30 seconds later. So much for that...

Still not much to update on, but we have left the house a few times, just to Target and Academy and her appointments. Which, by the way, its A LOT harder to just run to the store "real quick" with a baby. 

She is still looking a lot like her daddy, and this is why I call her Corey Jr!

She is sleeping 3-4 hours at a time, even at night, which doesn't sound like much but trust me, 3 hours of uninterrupted sleep is like Heaven! Right now, she is going through a little growth spurt and is eating and sleeping more than normal. Yes, her favorite activity is still sleeping! (Usually with her mouth wide open and arms above her head)

Being so cute is just exhausting!

Oh, and she is smiling once in a while, but I haven't been quick enough to catch it on camera yet. Hopefully soon! That's all for now :)

Welcome to the World, Dallas.

Dallas Grace Spencer came into the world on Friday, April 12, 2013 at exactly 4:00pm. She weighed 6lb 15oz and was 19 1/2 inches long and looked just like her daddy. 

She was 5 days early, thank God, and I was blessed with only 7 hours of active labor!

It all started with a popsicle. Corey woke me up at 4 in the morning because he needed help getting a popsicle open. Right after that, I started having contractions and after 2 hours, they were only 6-7 minutes apart. So me, being the logical one, finished packing our hospital bag and mentally preparing myself. Corey on the other hand, didn't believe it was real labor so he asked me, "Does this mean I shouldn't go to Lowes right now?" I said "No, put some pants on, we are going to the hospital!"

I will spare you the rest of the details, but honestly I was very lucky to have a "quick and easy" labor. With the help of an epidural of course! Surprisingly, the stay at the hospital wasn't bad and we had some very good nurses, that I give SO much credit to!

We came home on Sunday, the 14th and have been learning to adjust to life as a family. Maya loves to be near her when we let her, and always "checks on her" when she makes any crying or whimpering noise.

So far, Dallas is a really good baby. Loves her swing, likes baths, likes going for walks, doesn't mind being changed, and one thing is for sure, she loves to sleep!

Her wake up routine. Haha. Did I mention she loves her sleep? 

As of right now, she doesn't do a whole lot, but I know it won't be long until I'm updating that she's rolling over or crawling! She's growing fast. At a week old, her long legs already outgrew all of her newborn pajamas!

And while Tarah was visiting, she took some adorable newborn pictures!

Of course, there are sleepless nights, I've been pooped on, peed on, puked on, sometimes all in one day. And I know this is just the beginning. But all that doesn't outweigh the good. I love being a mom and wouldn't trade it for anything :)
