So the time has come...
I have been breastfeeding (pumping) for 14 weeks now but have slowly been producing less and less milk! We are thinking, as early as tomorrow, that we will have to start supplementing some formula. I just cant keep up with my little porker! haha. So the question is... WHAT FORMULA! I seriously stood in the formula aisle for 30 mintues today and left empty handed! I just dont know which one is best! Do I go with the most expensive one, or one that says ' closest to mothers milk' or with DHA (or something)??? There are so many and they are quite pricy! I just want to pick the best one for her, for the best money! Any suggestions are MORE than welcome.
Other than that, we are in Oklahoma and LOVING it! I miss being here so much! I want get into that right now though... We hope to see everyone while we are here. Hadley has been a BIG hit so far. She is such a sweet little girl and Loves everyone.
More pics soon.
Love

3 Months Old
I honestly cant believe 3 months has pasted since the birth of our little girl! She is so amazing! We are so blessed! She is growing and changing every day. I am glad she is so healthy and growing but sometimes I get sad that she is growing so fast... Graham says every day that he wishes she could stay this size forever and I totally agree! She is just so cute !
We went to the doctor last week and she was 12 lbs, 1.5 oz and 23 1/2 inches! This puts her is the 75% in weight and 90% in height!!! She is such a BIG girl! :)
Anyhow, here are a few of the newest pictures of our little sweet pea... Enjoy!

Lets work out.... YEAH RIGHT!!!
So even before I got pregnant, and during my entire pregnancy I said that the second I could work out again I would be ALL OVER IT!!! Well 11 1/2 weeks after giving birth I have been to the gym a total of 1time! Thats right, ONCE!!! I cant believe how hard it is to make it to the gym. Even harder since G isnt here right now. It seems like there is never enough time in the day! I really hope other Moms have this same struggle! I am going to try and go EVERY day this week! haha. At least I set goals right...
Bath time!
We are having such a struggle with bath time. Hadley absoulutly HATES baths! She screams bloody murder the entire time. I can not take it! It makes me so sad to upset her so baths are not the most important thing in our lives right now :( It may be gross but she is only averaging 2-3 a week right now. I clean her with a cloth every day but is it bad that I would rather not give her a bath because of how upset she gets? I hope this doesnt make me a bad Mom? Any suggestons on how to make her like baths is more than welcome????
Today was a gorgous day out so we went for a big walk and play on our patio for a while. She loves being outside and I think she will LOVE Spring in OKC and Summer here...
19 days until OKC! We cant wait to see everyone.

Shots!
Well today was a hard day...
Hadley had to get her 2 month old shots (a couple of weeks late) and I had to take her because G is out of town! It was HORRIBLE! 3 needles in one sitting is aweful! I honestly dont think I could sit through gettting 3 at once! So mean to do to an 11 week old. :( She did really well. She cried pretty hard for a couple of minutes but was laughing again soon after! She is such a trooper. I defiantly shed a tear (or ten)!
She is now 11wks, 2 days old, weighs 11 pds 11 oz and is 23 1/4 inches long! She is in the 75% in height and 50% in weight! I cant believe that she has gotten so big! She laughes constantly and is such a happy baby. She is sleeping through the night which is AMAZING! We are so blessed!
Attached are a couple of the newest photos!

10 weeks, 2 days
Hi everyone!
Well we are back in Calgary! Its so nice to be back in our house, and have my bed! :)
Graham is only here until Tuesday (which sucks) but al least we get a few days together... Hadley is going soooo great! She is growing like crazy! We had here weighed and measured yesterday and she is 11 pounds, 8 ounces and 23 3/4 inches long! She laughs and smiles constantly! She is a great eater and sleeper (thank goodness)! :) She has been sleeping in her crib for 2 days now and is doing great! She slept last night from 9:30 - 8:00 am!!! That is the latest she has slept and of course it was the morning that I had to pick up my sister at the airport at 5 am!!! haha! Oh well, I am use to being up early by now...
Speaking of... SHANNON is here! Hadley is loving her Aunt Shannon! And I am pretty sure Shannon is loving Hadley! :)
Graham and I are loving being parents! We LOVE Hads so much! We are so blessed.
Graham is still working in Saskatchewan. He hates it but it great money for the time being. We have been out there with him for the last few weeks which is hard because there was NOTHING to do and its so cold out there. Me and Hads are here (Calgary) for 2 weeks and have a few doctors appointments. Hadley has her first set of shots on Friday and I am so dreading it. I know she has to have them but I DO NOT want to be there. On the 12th we are heading back to see G for a couple of weeks and THEN OKLAHOMA!!!!
We cant wait to see everyone in OKC!

Update
Hi Friends!!!
Well its been a while... We have been a busy family. With G's job we have be 'moving' around A LOT! I am actually in Saskatoon this week because Graham is on graveyards for the week so I thought me and Hads would spend some time with G's family and The Prosofsky's. Its been a great week, but we are defiantly ready to get back to Daddy.
Hadley is growing like crazy! She is offically out of all newborn clothes and into 0-3 month! She is such a happy baby. I am always scared to brag too much because I dont want to jinx myself, but she is amazing! The only time she cries is when she is hungry and sometimes when she gets over tired! We read and have been trying to follow "Baby Wise". I am not sure what all we have done because Hadley has made it so easy for us? She is a very routine baby. She sleeps most nights from 11-6 or 11:30-6:30! I know, 7 weeks old... We are spoiled! Hopefully she keeps it up.
We have also scheduled her dedication for April 11th at BFC (in OKC) for the second service...
We would love for as many friends and family who can make it to please come!!!
We are soooooo looking forward to making the trip to OKC! We dont have the exact dates because it depends on G's work, but its looking like we will be headed down around the 23rd of March - the end of April!!! I cant wait to see everyone! And Hadley is very excited to meet everyone!
Well that is all for now.
Love
Jamie, Graham, and Hadley
P.S Auntie Shannon will be in Calgary on the 26th of this month and Hadley and Mommy couldnt be more excited!

One Month old and Mastitis!!!
Hello all!
My little sweet pea turned a month old on the 16th! It doesnt seem possible that over a month has passed! Hadley is such a good baby. She loves to cuddle and be held, but has no problem going down at night. She is still sleeping with me, but we plan to make the big move to the bassinet (in the pack-n-play) next to the bed, next week. I am sure this will be harder on me than her... She probably wont even notice! haha!
She is such a 'talker'! I love it so much when she starts ohhh and aweing! She goes on and on, especially when we are going to bed at night! She is sleeping a little less, but still most of the day. Her neck muscles are getting so strong! She now holding her head up for a longer and longer staring at me! :) Her baby acne is starting to clear up. It got so bad at about 3 weeks old. I hope it goes away soon. The doctor said that its completely normal for her age... We have her 1 month checkup on Wednesday! I am so excited to see how big she has gotten! She is growing so fast! Part of me wants her to slow down!
In other news...
I am writing this from my bed as I am recovering from MASTITIS!!! Thats right, after all of my breastfeeding struggles now this! Friday and Saturday I have honesly never felt so sick in my life! I went into the doctors Friday evening after my fever hit 103 F and it was pretty clear from all of my symtoms and the GIANT lumps in my right breast that I had Mastitis... For those of you who are not familer with this delightful term. Mastitis is an infection of the breast, it is also known as a 'milk fever'! It basically mimic the flu, plus severe breast pain in the infected breast. It came on fast and furios! I got 2 presciptions, one for the infection and fever, and one for the pain (yes its that bad!) After 48 hours of medication I actually got out of bed and showered today! I will be on meds for the next 5 days and hopefully it will go away! They are not sure what causes it, guess I am just 'that lucky'!!!
Well that is all for now. I am leaving Thursday to go be with Graham after 2 1/2 LONG weeks apart! I cant wait to see him, and I know he is so excited for us all to be together again... I think being away was a lot harder now that Hadley is here. :(
Hope everyone has a great week!
It may be a month before I update again because I am not taking the computer with me :(
So maybe I should say, I hope everyone has a great month!
Love
