Oh boy! I can't believe it has been two months since Copelyn was born!! Time surely does fly! The feeling of childbirth is still way too clear in my mind to even think of brothers or sisters for Copelyn at this point. They say amnesia will set in!! I sure hope so! The fussy, unhappy baby that Copelyn became around 3 weeks old is just a memory now because she has become a fairly easy, happy little girl!!
I think the biggest blessing and life saver for us was getting Copelyn into a good routine. Even though I hate being away from her we have found that she is baby who likes her days the same! She absolutely adores her babysitter Mrs. Debbie and Mrs. Debbie loves Copelyn. I never feel uneasy at all when I drop Copelyn off! Some days it is just Copelyn & Mrs. Debbie and then other days Mrs. Debbie has her sweet granddaughter Addison who is just 4 months older than Copelyn! Copelyn & Addison are best buddies already! Addison has even taught Copelyn to love Elmo!
Copelyn likes to eat every 3 hours. She gets 3 bottles during the day while I am gone. She pretty much hates a bottle but she has learned if she wants to eat she better take it!! It is funny because she takes the bottle fine from Mrs. Debbie but on the days I work nights & Scott has her she is a pill for him! In order for her to take a bottle from Scott he has to do a dancing jig he made up while feeding her! We are still 100% breast milk which I pray we can stay that way for a while. It is definitely hard to be a slave to my pump during the work day but I know it is so good for Copelyn! Every night at 8pm Copelyn gets her reflux medicine and then has to have her bath! If it is 8:20 and this hasn't happened yet she gets pretty mad! She loves her bath and likes to just lay there & soak. We discovered the Bedtime Bath Johnsons Baby Bubble Bath. Oh my goodness...this stuff is awesome! Ever since we started using this stuff Copelyn sleeps from 9pm to 2am then she gets up to eat once then she goes right back to sleep! I wake her up again at 4 though because I know if I don't feed her then she will start crying while I am exercising!! In order to stay sane I have to exercise!
Copelyn loves to go on runs with me! I guess it is because I exercised so much while she was snug in my tummy! She loves the outdoors too! I can't wait to take her to the pool!
Copelyn had her two month check-up today! She did great with her shots....Mommy not so much! Ugh! It makes me cry every time! Today Copelyn weighed 10 pounds 8.5 ounces (40 percentile), 22.5 inches long (51 percentile), and 15 1/4 head circumference (46%)! She is growing so much!! Her pediatrician said she is perfect in every way and passed her check up with flying colors! yay! I love being her mommy! She brings me so much joy! I hope to keep up with the blog better but between working & being a mommy right now it is hard!! I will try to get better!! Have a good week!
