Happy Two Weeks!!

Hello Everyone!

So Riva is officially 2 weeks old!  I can't believe I've been a mom for two weeks eek. I wish I could say I am getting the hang of it, but everyday seems to be a new experience lol. She used to eat every 3 hours, but now she wants to eat every 2 hours. Breastfeeding is definitely hard work, but I still like doing it. I have been able to pump often. I read somewhere that if you pump after nursing, then your  body will make more milk. I have at least 2 days worth in my freezer :-) I am trying to get ready for her daycare days in January. Co-workers at my job gave me a gift card to Babies R Us, so I used some of the money to purchase milk storage bags and bottles. The hospital gave me some as well, but not enoungh for what I am pumping lol.

On Monday I will be going to Orlando to visit my mother. I am so excited for her to see and meet Riva. I know they are going to love each other instantly. I am a little nervous about traveling on a plan with a newborn, so ant suggestion will be greatly appreciated. I read a blog saying that you should breastfeed or bottle feed during taking off to help with ear pressure. Normally, Riva is pretty 'gansta' when it comes to shots and uncomfortable visits  to the  doctor, so I don't doubt she will be fine. She is a tough sleeper. The other day she slept thorough the blender crushing ice. pretty crazy lol.

I have so much stuff to get together to travel her clothes, my clothes, diapers, wipes blankets, and more and more and more stuff lol. Should I bring the stroller? More stuff I never had to think about before. I will be flying Southwest airlines, so I am hoping they allow people with small children on first lol never noticed if southwest allows that. I did read that I should get an aisle seat so that I can walk up and down during the flight.

Well that is all for now. See you soon!
