Happy New Year!!

Well here it is another year! Crazy how time just flies by! I cant believe I got married last year and now have a wonderful baby girl!

So Gracyn's Christmas was crazy! She got so much stuff. Her clothes now occupy the guest closet too! Not joking! I seriously think she has more clothes then me. She also got a play mat, a walker, and a Bright Starts Tropical Fun Around We Go! Activity Station From Uncle David, Aunt Leia, & cousin Connor! Check it out!

Doesn't that look like fun! I cant wait to see her playing on it! It will be here before we know it. She is already smiling at us all the time. Speaking of that, Gracyn and I were out shopping today and she refused to be in her car seat... so I was trying to hold Gracyn (like a big girl... because that is the only way she likes it) and push the cart. The things you manage to do when you are a mommy! She was a little ham. She smiled at everyone that walked by us. She loves to show off those dimples! Daddy has been hitting the gym a lot more! He is going to have to scare away all those boys someday! =)

The three of us have been sick with a cold. Poor Gracyn has had a stuffy nose. Now it is just running all the time!Even sick, she is still as happy as can be. And since I was sick, my milk supply has went down a lot! I'm so bummed. I have been busy trying to re-establish that. It's hard work! I am feeding her like crazy and pumping too. I am taking some herbal supplements; Fenugreek and Blessed Thistle to try and get it up again. It seems to be getting better. I have had to supplement with formula a few times and I hate it! But what do you do when she is screaming because she is still hungry. I am just praying I can get it back to where it was. She is eating so much now! And I don't want her to have formula at all.

Gracyn had her 2 month Dr. appt. last week too. She had to get two more shots! It made me want to cry. I wish I could get them for her. She did better than her 1 month shots. And she now weighs 10 pd 10.5 oz. and is 21.5 in long. She really didn't grow very much since her last appt. Which the Dr. wasn't too concerned about right now. Since Geoff and I are not really large people, she just might be a petite girl. It still makes me worry, I want her to be a healthy girl! It also makes me concerned that she isn't getting enough food. But we will see how she has grown at her 4 month visit. Pray she is growing good!

Here are some Christmas pics!

Christmas Morning... waiting to open presents!












I am off to bed! Gracyn is sleeping through the night now and it is wonderful! She is still in our room for now... I just can't put her in her room yet! I think we will do that at 3 months. I will try to write again soon!

Keep us in your prayers!

Geoff, Karrah, & Miss Gracyn

What a big girl, that is awesome that she is sleeping through the night. Also I didn't breastfeed but belong to this group on line for mothers, and I know they all swear by oatmeal to bring your supply up.
