We visited Dr. Walters on Wednesday and Miss Fayola is growing as expected! She has gained 3 lbs. weighing in at 10 lbs. 3 oz., is 2 inches longer and her head is measuring where it needs to be. She has slept 4 hours in one night, has started on certain days to schedule herself on 3 hr. intervals of feeding, and we are still nursing!
She has been lifting and controlling her head regularly while being held in someone's arms and with tummy time and hold her head up nice and strong. She also loves to smile at mommy after she eats! Not regular. She has also started to make ahhh and oooo noises, so darn cute.
Eric and I are doing well, with the little amount of sleep. He ends his internship at Bowen Engineering in 2 weeks and starts with classes at ISU for the last semester!! He is set to graduate December 2011! He has started the job hunt, and has had some promising finds so far. We will see what happens, keeping our fingers crossed that we stay in Indianapolis.
I have 6 more weeks of maternity leave. I'm working on Fayola's scrapbook, sparingly, and have started to study for my NAIOMT Exams, I hope to accomplish my COMT (manual therapy specialty) in one year from now. But, I am doing this at a relaxed pace, just enjoying my time home with my beautiful daughter.

The pictures are lovely! I think the last one is my favorite, where she is awake and very intense. I don't think that I've ever seen her that awake before, she has really striking eyes.
