Lots of fun this week so far.  Lily got to see her Great Grandma Waters, Great Aunt Deb, and second cousin Tori.  Tori brought her an adorable outfit too, which I will be posting pictures of tomorrow by Grandma's request even though its still too big. :) 

Went to Lifeline today and got Lily weighed.... She has gained some weight and is now 7 pounds 5 ounces.  That's a huge plus, as I was worried about her weight gain for just a minute.  She is developing wonderfully.  She can hold her head up for a few seconds at a time, with little control and can move from side to side. She responds to visuals and sounds by turning her head towards or away from them.  Breast feeding is still going great.  I'm beginning to really worry about continuing to breastfeed after I go to work though.  I have issues with the pump.  No matter how hard I try to relax, I'm just uncomfortable with the pump altogether and therefore cannot release milk to be pumped.  Also, after I go back to work if I'm not regularly pumping while I'm at work, like every 2 hours, my milk supply will dry up so I'm afraid that she'll have to be switched to formula far sooner than I wanted her to be.  I have to get back to work and get saving to get school paid off, buy a car, and prepare to get outta Mom and Dad's house too and I can't very well rely on the "maybes" of child support from her dad to cover the cost of diapers, wipes, and any and every other possible baby supply necessary, including formula. 

Biggest news of the week above all else.... Lily rolled over from her belly to her back today. 3 TIMES IN A ROW!!!!!!!!  It's already begun to make me sad and happy all at the same time to know that she's, in the most simple ways, growing up.  On one hand I'm so very excited to see her grow and learn and develop in every way but on the other I wish she'd just stay an infant forever so that I can snuggle her every possible moment. 

Possible good news for Mommy too.  I may have a full time position working the during the afternoons back at Casey's.  No overnights for me this time.  Yuck.  And I may be able to apply for the 2nd Asst. Manager position for the afternoon shift also.  Steady hours, paycheck, and benefits would be incredible to have.  That would make my upcoming months of preparation to be a single Mommy without the help of Grandma and Grandpa so much easier.  They're not in any hurry to get rid of me, but I know I have to get out and stand on my own two feet too. I have to be a strong example for my baby girl to learn from.

Pictures today include the visit from this week and a couple of belly time pictures I took today.  :)
