Presley Reagan's 2 month Stats : Weight _ Length _ Head _

For now I'm leaving them blank because tomorrow is her 2month check up/ 3rd weight check & I will update it then. As of her last weight check she weighed 5lbs 3 ozs!! However, I am thinking she is 6lbs now! Little chunker!! It's so funny because to most people they look shocked when we tell them she is fat when they tell us "oh she is soo tiny", because we know TINY as something completely different. It's a look of horror though, because people think we are being mean, when it's completely opposite and we are HAPPY that she is getting fatter! One of the greatest things about Presley, is that she EATS!! It's amazing, she actually eats her food, and even though it is quite the struggle with her reflux, she does eat. I'm hoping that tomorrow they change her reflux meds to something different, because the Zantac doesn't seem to be doing anything. Sigh, Relfux, oh how I hate you!! She spits up every feed, and it's usually quite a bit, so it's amazing that she is gaining weight so fast. She is eating 75mLs still 8 times a day, but is often eating 90mLs, so feeding wise she is doing AMAZING!

A little about Presley. She is very different personality wise from Libby. Presley is much more diva like. She is very demanding, and man if you do not have her food ready 10 minutes before feeding time, she is letting you know what she thinks! It's been amazing to watch her & Libby together. Presley is only 2 months old, but you can tell she loves Libby. She usually quiets down when Libby is there, unless there is a finger randomly trying to go in her eye or mouth (Libby is still learning lol). Libby kisses her head when she is fussing, and it usually calms her down. It melts my heart, and I'm sure they will be the best of friends. She loves to be held, and prefers to be doing this, oh 24/7. She is a night owl, and likes to be up from 2am till 6am. I'm sporting the always tired look, but man is it worth it! Presley has the softest hair, and the cutest little toes. She has her Daddy's feet, and I personally think she gets a lot from her Daddy. Good thing he is just so darn handsome! Both girls just adore their Daddy, and I do too. He is such a good father to them, and he loves them so much. He is very good to us! Here is a pic I took with the two of them yesterday.

I am LOVING all the new tiny little rolls she is starting to get. Like the ones above her knees, and this tiny little double chin that is starting to form. It's delicious. I think fat chubby babies are just the cutest, and even though I have tiny babies which I adore with all that I have, I always love when they get chubbier and chubbier. Isn't it silly that as adults we try everything we can to be skinny and loose the chub, but adore it on our babies? It's silly. I LOVE looking at her little tiny hands. She has these dainty long fingers, and my heart melts when she wraps them around my finger. As a mother of 2 preemies, that tiny hand grip on my index finger, THAT melts my heart & I love it. It brings so much more meaning to me, because that's the first time I got to touch both girls. Every time she wraps those tiny little fingers around my one finger, I get wrapped around hers even more. I'm sure she will be spoiled, because Aaron says it's the same way for him. We just love our little Presley. She is a sweetheart, and she has made our little family complete.

Her angel's kiss is still pretty prominant, however I think it is fading just a little bit. When she gets mad, it sure does flare up bright red, but all in all I do think it is fading. I have had quite a few rude/hurtful comments about the markings on her face & head, and it's hard to not want to slap the crap out of some people for the ignorant things that they say... but I just smile and explain what it is & that we don't mind. I won't lie, I wish for her sake that she didn't have it because I don't want her to one day come to me crying because someone was mean to her and hurt her feelings by making fun of it.. which I'm sure that will happen, and that makes me sad. I don't see it when I look at her, but I think she is perfect, so I am biased. It makes me sad that one day someone will hurt her feelings, someone will break her heart, and being her Mama, I wish I could spare her that. Sigh. Um, She still doesn't have a bum, (I love baby bums) it's pretty much non existant (hahaha and NO, she did not get that from me obviously), and she is still in preemie diapers BUT they are starting to fit her now. We don't have to roll the front down twice anymore, even though they go halfway up her back lol. She is still too tiny for newborn clothes, even the ones that have been shrunk down a few times.. but she soon will be in them because the preemie clothes are starting to get a little snug. I am SO glad I bought all the preemie clothes we did, and so thankful to all our wonderful friends that sent us cute preemie clothes from the states. I can't wait for Aaron to get my babyhawk from Guam, so I can start wearing Presley. I'm big on babywearing, and have been pretty sad to not have it here with me in Oki. Still no word yet on when we are leaving here, or where we are going, but I will update as soon as we do know something :) Her eye appt. is tomorrow, so hopefully she passes that & then we can be given the go ahead to finally LEAVE Okinawa! I've been really worried about her eyes, and have been praying that they are fully developed tomorrow morning. Happy 2 Month Presley, Mama & Daddy love you SOO much!
