Six Weeks three days

Look who's six weeks old!
Week six was looking great until an old nursing issue showed back up on Tuesday. By Wednesday, I was not a happy mama and was so close to throwing in the towel. In fact, at 4 am on Thursday morning I was at Kroger buying bottles because things were not going well.
I gave it one more shot at our first feeding on Thursday morning and of course, it was a great feeding. All feedings have been back on track since then. So, I guess we're good again.

On the up side, Shawn sent me to get a spa facial this afternoon for some relaxation.
That Shawny, he's a keeper.

Here are a few random shots of Ava from today.
These are not exciting, but this is what she does folks...nothing.

Having a little one-on-one with Daddy before he mows the lawn.

Snuggling with Daddy.

Getting mad in the bouncer while E.K. and Ethan grab a photo op with their fave
baby sister.

She can stick out her tongue.
In fact, this is the source of our reoccurring nursing issue...the tongue thrust (+ high palette + thrush). Argh.

She actually fills out the 0-3 month sleeper now, length-wise anyway.
The hospital completely measured her length inaccurately at birth. I think they said 21 inches or something like that...nope. When we measured her at her 1 week visit, she was 18 3/4. I know that measurement was right because I helped and asked the nurse to do it twice.
Sorry Grammy, you may have to change her stats in your scrap book if you have one going already.

Ava is still sleeping great. She does great at naptimes and is still doing well at night. We usually get up one time around 4am. Once I can get this little dot to 10 pounds I'm hoping she'll stretch that a little more. We're definitely in the 9 pounder range although with that little princess pea head it's hard to tell!
