~MIlestones and mom-woes~

So we still can't seem to get the hang of rolling over. Madelyn gets ample tummy time every day and ample practice time with both mommy and daddy at different times of the day, but for some reason just can not grasp it. She did roll from front to back twice one morning, but that was it. Never to be seen again. Every morning I give her what I call "Diaper Time". Before her first nurse I strip her down to her diaper and plop her on the floor on a blanket belly down while I tidy up her room and get things started for the day. She tummy surfs and sways from side to side all while lifting her butt up and carpet swimming. She is definitely gaining more upper body strength as I caught her doing push ups yesterday, but no more rolling. Although she has no issue rolling when we give her a little jump start. Go figure.

We also began eating jarred baby food last week. We began our adventure with squash and now this week we have moved on to sweet potatoes. Honestly, the stuff isn't that bad and she does seem to enjoy it as she opens her mouth nice and wide to receive the offering, it just needs some salt if I was to be eating it.

Oh and when we have her in a sitting positions, as she can't sit unaided yet, she tries to get up and stand..lol..it is so funny because she gets SO mad that she can't. Oh how frustrating that must be!

Now my woe. My period. It is so heavy. I have no idea why and it sucks. I'm thinking though that this will be my life from here on out. It was never this heavy before I gave birth so I'm figuring this will be one of those things that is never the same again. I bleed right through super tampons in a few hours..thank God for panty liners. It's nasty when you can feel yourself bleeding, especially when you have a tampon in! So I went out and bought Super Plus tampons..dear Lord those things look like they can suck up Lake Superior. Let's hope they do!
