Weight:
14lbs! She's around the 75th percentile
Health:
She had her immunisations done at 10 and 14 weeks and didn't have much of a reaction afterwards other than a little bit of fussiness, so hopefully the next set at 18 weeks will be the same. [we are running 2 weeks behind, normally they're given at 8, 12 and 16 weeks]
Emilia gave the nurses big smiles before they stabbed her legs, it was very hard for me to see her cry and the first time I almost burst into tears myself.
She has been dribbling lots so we're wondering if this could be early signs of teething
Nicknames:
Cheeky Chops, Little Miss Fartie Pants
Eating:
We are still doing a mixture of breastfeeding and formula, which works well for us. She eats about every 2.5-3 hours during the day. Her last bottle for the day is at 7:30 and she can last around 8 hours at night.
Sleeping:
Nighttime sleep has been good, she generally goes to sleep around 7:30/8 and sleeps until 3-5am, has a feed and then goes back until 7/8am.
When we travelled to Germany she started sleeping from 9pm until 7am and carried on doing 10-11 hours non stop for about 2 weeks, however now she's back to sleeping 7-8 hours which definitely is not bad, but we enjoyed the 11 hours of uninterrupted sleep very much :)
We are still sleeping in the same room and I'm nowhere near ready to let her sleep in her own room just yet.
Daytime sleep is not quite as successful, she is not a big fan of napping in her crib and prefers sleeping in her bouncer or the pushchair/stroller. She sleeps only about 90 minutes during the day.
Nappies:
Pampers Baby Dry size 3(as I previously mentioned, they cover different weight ranges here in the UK)
Clothing:
3-6 months, especially for bottoms as she's got a bit of a belly ;-)
Social:
So far our social calendar has been a bit quiet due to school holidays, but we are now signed up for music class, a sensory class and baby massage.
We did a couple of one-off classes in the summer as well as free trials and we both really enjoyed that and I can't wait to start classes properly next week.
Not having a car is definitely making things a little bit difficult.

Dislikes:
*napping in her crib
*having her nappy changed in the middle of the night
*having to wait for food
Mama:
3 months on and I have lost all the baby weight, I think I actually did in the first 3 weeks thanks to exclusively breastfeeding in the beginning.
However my body has obviously changed during pregnancy and I need to lose some weight and tone up eventually.
Other than that my body feels just like it did before the birth[which reminds me, I never put up my birth story]
Being a Mama is amazing, I have previously worked as a nanny and definitely loved those kids, but the love I feel for Emilia is so much stronger, she's my everything!
Fun things we did:
Emilia and I flew to Germany to visit my mum and grandmother, everyone thought I was crazy travelling on my own with a 2 months old baby, but she did amazingly well.
What we are looking forward to:
Flying to Germany again in a couple of days, this time as a family of three.
