I've been awful about keeping up on this but I think I have a good excuse! Things have been plugging along here in the Harms/Poley Household. Tegan is eating nonstop, which can be quite frustrating. We are still having difficulties with Breast Feeding. She still hasn't figured out how to latch on correctly and she's a slow eater who likes to fall asleep. She eats about every 3 hours, and I'm often glued in one place for at least an hour, so it's hard to get anything done. But at least she's growing, last weight was over 8lbs. She was 2 months on Christmas. I can't believe how fast time is flying by. I go back to work in 3 weeks and it makes me sad that I won't be home with her, but we gotta pay the bills. At least she will be staying home with Grandma which makes me feel better. Unfortunately because she is a Preemie she is behind developmentally, and is not doing the things a normal 2 month baby would be doing. Our pediatrician says we must go by her adjusted age, which is when she was supposed to be due, Dec 7. According to that she would only be 3 weeks old. So that's a little frustrating, but she is growing and changing. She is beginning to be more awake now, and focusing better on faces and objects. Most recently she rolled from her belly to her back, which was quite a work out for her! Here is a more recent picture of her. She has gotten quite plump!!
