Miranda is 3 weeks old :-)

How did the time fly so fast? I feel like she was just in my belly! Now she is 3 weeks!
Our little peanut (as Mike calls her) or sweetness (as I call her) is already 6lbs 14oz! In fact, I think she is larger than that by now. We go back to the doc on Thursday and will know more then. She is eating very well now. The first two weeks were tough, but now that we have introduced the bottle, she is doing better and so am I. Mike is able to feed her at night (and day) which helps me tremendously! I felt like I could not keep up at first with the feedings, but our little girl went from 6lbs to 6 14oz in a week, so she is growing and needed more. I am happy with her now feeding both from me and bottle. And the most important is she is happy too :-)

Nobody can explain how wonderful parenthood is! I mean, we brought this little life into the world and watching her grow is just amazing. We do tummy time now (not for long periods) but she's getting the hang of it more and more. Miranda is super strong and can even start holding herself up on her legs! Her neck is super strong too. We think she'll be a runner or gymnast :-)

We can just sit here and stare at her. She's just perfect and wonderful :-) I'm so in love with my sweetness :-)

My mom, (Aka:Grandma) came to take her 2 week and 2 day photos. Here is a sneak peak:

Professional Pix Taken At The Hospital - Day 5 :-)

Miranda was a wonderful model during her first photo shoot :-) She was 5 days old when these were taken. I can't believe how big she has gotten since these pix were taken. Our little peanut is growing up so fast!! :-)

Miranda's 2nd week :-)

Miranda has been greeted by so many people who love her! Thank you to everyone for coming by and your calls, etc :-)








We also took her for her first walk and she slept through some of it, cried through some of it too...haha :-)




She's so little, that we thought a picture of her in her '0' month onsie would be great against the big panda :-)
(We'll continue to take monthly pix against the panda. Thanks Rich & Steph!)


Miranda and her cute bow!

Miranda's First Sponge Bath :-)

I do not think she knew what was about to happen, but from the picture, you can tell she was none to pleased! Haha! Poor girl, did not like the cold, even though the towel was warm. But she did great, and got all clean. We wrapped her up in her pink Pooh towel, and then she went right to sleep :-)

Me and My Girl :-)

Watch General Hospital together!!! :-)
I mean, c'mon, Sonny and Brenda are getting back together and Miranda was soooo interested to know what will happen :-) We watch at 3pm on ABC, if we can, or Soap Net at night. My little girl loves the ABC soaps already!!

(You can see Miss Brenda Barrett herself in the background!)

Miranda Goes To The Doctor & Shopping For The 1st Time :-)

After 2 days home, we took Miranda to her first doctor visit. She gained back 2oz, so now she's 6lbs and 2oz! WooHoo!! She did great and doc was very pleased.


Then we needed some essentials so we took Miranda on her first shopping trip! Babies R Us was Miranda's first store. She slept through the whole shopping experience! Haha :-)

Miranda's Daily Pix :-)

In the hospital, we took daily pix of Miranda with the building blocks. I added them below for your viewing pleasure :-)
(OK, I know I'm slightly obsessed with pictures, but look at this little girl, and tell me you don't fall in love every time you see her! Maybe I'm slightly biased, but I love taking pictures of her b/c I want to remember every second!) :-)
