7 weeks

Alexis is 7 weeks old today! Weird how fast it has all gone!! She is getting big! The ways I hold her are starting to change because she getting so long. She has chunked up a little but not a ton. For the most part she is such a happy baby! She doesn't have colic every night anymore which I love. She rolled over on her own the other day! I had been video recording her and as soon as I stopped she did it. I tried to get her to do again but she couldn't. So I'm sure it was just one of those coincidence things.
She is starting to hate the bottle!! I giver her one once a day and she started hating it. But I didn't give in. So most of the time she is ok with it now. But she doesn't like anyone else feeding her besides me. It isn't a good thing sense I'm going to weening her. I feel like such a bad mom for doing it so soon! I was totally against the breast feeding thing until I had her. Sense her heart rate dropped and we weren't sure if she would have any other problems I didn't even think twice about trying it. Then decided it's not weird like I thought it was. And now that I'm thinking about stopping I feel so guilty!! I had thought about quiting so I can diet more but thought that can wait a few months. It's worth it to her. But I am getting such bad migraines all the time with nausea and I can't take my medicine for it until I stop nursing. So I think I'm going to stop. So yes you can call me selfish and bad mom because I feel that way!
I went to my 6 week check up the other day and tried to get a IUD. They wouldn't give it to me because I had a balance. I had already approved it through my insurance and they would pay for it in full. But they wouldn't because I owe money. They were such jerks about it too. Our insurance detectable changed to $2500 more than it was last year (and we hadn't planned on that) and I had to get a C-Section and that's a $1000 more so I have only paid half of it off. So I told them I would just go somewhere else and so I am. As much as I love my little girl I'm not ready for another one yet! Anyways that's my complaint of the week.
I finally tried my first Zumba class. I've been dieing to know what it is. I loved it! It is such a fun class! I suggest everyone try it!!

stuff...

Alexis loves being talked to! She is starting goo back at us! It is so fun!! Whenever I tell her she is a pretty girl she smiles back at me! It's like she's telling us she knows she is!
Alexis loves her binky! Some people say don't let your kids have them. And I am not one of those people! I think it is a life saver, especially on our colic nights! Well last night she had lost her binky and instead of crying about it she found her thumb! Now this is such a bad habit that I don't support. Because it's cute now but not when they get older! And you can't take there thumb away where you can there binky. So I took the picture because it was so cute! Then hurry and replaced it with the binky. I painted Alexis toes yesterday! She woke up while I was doing it so I didn't get to put a second coat on yet. I'm waiting to paint her finger nails because she always is trying to eat her hands.
We got a sling that was recalled and we finally went and exchanged it. Lexi loves it! She loves looking and around so we just walk around with her in and we can get things done. Don't worry she can still breath and is not suffocating. She's just a little short still for. She sucks on it so by the time we get her out it's drooled all over.

Jumper/Walker

We got Lexi a Jumper/Walker. I know it's way to early for it. But we found a great deal on KSL and thought we might as well get it now. We put her in it every once in a while and play with her in it. She loves it!! She can't reach the toys yet so I show her what they do and she just smiles and smiles. She's to freakin cute!!
