8 weeks and change...

Baby Emily 6 weeks 4 days old

This picture was taken December 23rd so that makes Emme about 6 weeks and 4 days old. I bought this Janie and Jack dress for her to wear for Christmas but as you can see, she is TOO big for it!!! We call her the snorkerler. She likes to snorkle quite a bit.

I have quite a bit of milk production so it has been an interesting time of figuring out when to pump, if I should pump and how not to overfeed Em. I think we've figured it out, we give her one boob then a lot of burping time, then a little bit more, then the pacifier. This keeps her from spitting up all or a lot of her meal. She has done that a few times where I have had to change her and me completely because we are both soaked!

Husby and I have already been out on a few dates---first to dinner where I was still quite hormonal and then to the movies to see the latest Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol. It was pretty good. The Tom Cruise run must be patented! He is really a great actor. Crazy as all get but a great actor. I think Robin Thicke's wife Paula Patton is gorgeous. I didn't realize that she was in Precious. How did I totally miss that?

I digress...It's odd but I am beginning to enjoy spending time at home. It's strange because having worked outside of the home for so many years it's weird just being at home the majority of the time.

I do have a few new year's resolutions:

1.) Stop wasting! food, time, and stuff.
2.) Get organized: organize, label and donate
3.) No more shopping unless it's totally necessary
4.) Get in the gym at least 3 times a week
5.) Don't yell at my 3 year old!
6.) Less TV watching
7.) More time reading

Other than #5 I think I have the same resolutions from year to year. Oh well, I guess I can keep trying.
