4 months old!

Annabelle is 4 months!  Best 4 months ever.  Because she was sick we were unable to have her official 4 month appointment on the 27th, but had our follow-up appointment the following Friday, in which we also treated as her 4 month.  The doctor looked at her and said she was much better.  She wasn't working as hard to breathe and her chest seemed much clearer.  He said he was glad that we got her in and on medicine, because he thought she was turning for the worse :( 

4 month recap:
We stopped sleeping through the night once we got sick. And it's been rough.  She has been so tired and wants to sleep, but is so uncomfortable.  She wants her paci and when she loses it, she cries, so it's a lot of back and forth.  Needless to say, our heart breaks for her and makes the late night awakings not so bad.  BUT, we did sleep through the night again on Thursday, so hoping we are turning the corner!

Annabelle is wearing #2 diapers and 6 month clothing.  All of her 3 month outfits don't fit her anymore and have put them all away :(  Tear.  So she has moved on to 6 monthers, which I hope she stays in for a little bit.  We are still eating every 3 hours during the day, 6 oz. of breastmilk!  I've been able to keep up with her demand, although every week I am losing an ounce.  Hoping we can still make it to 6 months, but we'll see.  The whole pumping at work, stress of managing working full-time, being a mom and everything else, has definitely effected the supply.  She is such a happy baby and is growing by the day.  I think she's in the 15 pound range?!?!?!!
