Pregnancy Update

Lauren is 7w 1d and feeling pretty good! She's had some mild nausea but nothing that can't be cured by eating. Other than sleeping and peeing more, she hardly feels pregnant at all. It's a little nerve-wracking, as puking would be more reassuring that there's a healthy baby in there, BUT Lauren always assumes pregnancy is healthy until otherwise indicated! Only 30-35 weeks to go!

Asking to nurse :)

Lauren thought Lolli was close to weaning herself since she has never asked to nurse during the day and has been only nursing at night for quite some time. However, Lolli's been sick lately and after every nap and in the mornings she's been "asking" Lauren to breastfeed her. It took Lauren a minute to figure out what Lolli was wanting, when she pointed to the pillow and tried to pull it towards Lauren and spit her pacifier out. Then it dawned on Lauren - during the night, she always lays a pillow across her lap and lays Lolli on it to nurse her. Duh! Lolli was asking to nurse! Maybe this is just a fluke thing because Lolli doesn't feel well, or maybe she isn't ready to wean yet :)

Lolli's 12 Month Check up

Lolli weighs 21.4 pounds and is 29 1/2 inches long. She's pretty much average :) She had to get blood drawn for a standard-issue hemoglobin test and the results were just fine. Shewas not fond of her shots but had stopped crying by the time Zach and Lauren got her up to the front desk. What a brave girl! And she didn't pee on anyone this time, which was a nice change, HA!

Lolli's First Coat

Lolli got a coat, hat and gloves today at WalMart! Her coat is black with pink stitching on one side, and is reversible to pink fleece on the oher side. It zips up and has a hood. Her hat is black with hot pink and light pink stripes going around it. One pair of her gloves ae light pink and the other is black with stripes like her hat. Lolli loves to wear all over it and insists on wearing her coat ALL THE TIME!

Lolli's Baby

Zach and Lauren bought Lolli her very own baby doll today. She's bald with blue eyes and a soft pink body. She comes with a backpack carrier that doubles as a carseat, a bassinet, and several outfit changes. The outfits velcro to her body, so it's easy for little ones to dress the baby. Lolli loves her baby and she especially like to hold her and give her hugs. And then she throws her on the floor, LOL.
