Hey everyone. I am thinking that I should probably change my blog title! It is kind of outdated since our little one is here (Thank you Lord).
I am thinking something to commemorate how she was conceived (IVF). Or maybe that we are starting our new life in Texas.
Maybe:
Mama of my Texas Cutie
My Life after Infertility
(Although I don't really like this one since I will still need assistance in having siblings for Allura)
I am drawing a blank and I don't want to copy someone elses!
Any Suggestions???

Thanks for the advice!
Hey everyone. Thanks for the advice. It helps! I ended up buying Allura the Fisher Price Jumperoo (Khaki Sands). It is big and ugly but oh well she seems to like it! She loves being propped up on the couch but I can't leave her there alone since she might fall, so I am looking forward to her playing in the bouncer.
The tummy sleeping thing... She flips back over alot. I will try and flip her back onto her back as much as I can but it helps to hear that your doctors said to try and not worry as much as I am.
Here's to new milestones everyday!!!

Officially a TEXAN! 4 month updates...
Well we are officially here! All of our stuff is being unpacked slowly! It is hard when Allura wants constant attention!
Also we had her 4 month check up (a little late since we were moving). She had two shots and an oral vaccination (We started spacing them out - We didn't like giving her all of them at once like last time).
She is 17 pounds and 25 inches long. Her growth has slowed a little bit but she is still a big girl for her age! She is now in 6 month clothing. (Which sucks because since we were moving I had packed up all of her 6 month and older clothes. She could have been wearing some of them for about a month now. She is already getting a little big for some of the clothes labeled 6 months. Oh well hopefully someone else in our family will have another girl - maybe us one day? :) ) I would hate to waste them!
Allura is changing everyday now! She can roll over and prop her head up. She talks a bunch! And laughs like crazy when you bounce her.
No signs of teeth yet - thank goodness!!
The doctor said to wait on rice cereal until 6 months. So for now breast milk only.
Also FYI: The pediatrician said absolutely no sleeping on her tummy. (Yes I already knew this but she flips herself on her tummy during nap time.) So he said that I need to flip her back onto her back until she is a year old. Babies can still suffocate even if their noses aren't pressed up against anything. The air they breathe out can recirculate back into their noses. So NO TUMMY SLEEPING!!!
Also he said no oral gels for teething. He said the medicine can get into their lungs since the gag reflex gets numbed.
And finally he said no walkers yet since they can bump into things since they are not coordinated enough yet. He said bouncers are fine.
I think I might get the Baby Einstein saucer.
Sorry it has been so long. But like I said I was moving and wow, I am so glad we are in our new house!

Don't hate me because I'm beautiful!
