Happy Friday!  I've been noticing more and more development with Lily.  She's more visually attentive and follows things with her eyes.  She makes direct eye contact when you talk to her.  She is beginning to coo and make tiny whimpering noises when she sleeps and when she's awake.  Every day seems to bring more and more progress and growth.  All the tiny tiny things I never thought about before are now the highlights of every single day. 

Today Mom finished putting together the mobile that she and I created while I was pregnant.  It's Doctor Who themed, of course.  Four dangling parts including a TARDIS, dalek, bowtie, and a sonic screwdriver.  It will have a DW logo on the top part of it where the music comes out.  We thought about trying to find a way to include the intro theme music or the sounds of the TARDIS but that will probably be far too difficult. 

I've started pumping breastmilk to begin stock piling for when I go back to work and Grandma will be babysitting.  I'm having some issues with the pumping though.  I have always been known for psyching myself out and mentally freaking out about anything and everything and this is no different.  I know it's too early to be truly successful and it'll be a learning process, but I still worry.  Lily is gaining weight and has plenty of poopy and wet diapers every day so I know that she's being properly nourished.  I just feel like I'm not pumping nearly as much milk as I should be each time.  I know its a psychological thing and I have to relax to ensure a good milk flow, that's just hard for me.  Hopefully it gets easier. 

We've had a couple of sessions trying to get some good newborn pictures taken but haven't had much luck.  It's so hard to get the perfect shot, especially with tiny wiggly babies like Miss Lily.  Seems like every shot is just a second or two off from the perfect shot.  Hopefully we'll have some good ones to show off soon. 

I don't have a new picture today.  We've not been taking many pictures the last couple of days.  Spending all my time feeding her and in down time we snuggle and take naps together.  I'll definitely be glad when she gets on a more regular eating and sleeping schedule.  For now we're just doing both on demand, whenever she wants to and for however long she wants to.  Really can't believe she's 3 weeks old today.
