1 month old!

1 month old already! I can hardly believe it, and then again I can! Its been a long and eventful month! Every day Delaney does something new that amazes me. It excites me that she is learning so much and is so bright and it makes me sad that they really do grow up so fast.. but for me its bittersweet. On one hand I DONT want her to grow up so fast and on the other Im wishing the days away until Shawns home and we are a family again.
The last few weeks have been an emotional rollercoaster for me. With having her, to telling Shawn bye, to learning how to be a mother and get into a routine. Its hard.. Its really dang hard but Im making it and I know that in the end I will appreciate this time and know that Im stronger and the even more capable Marines wife. There will be nothing I cant do.
I think that we are finally into a routine. She really is a good baby. She is very laid back and the only time she is fussy is if Im not holding her which we're getting better at! She just loves to snuggle and I dont mind it one bit! :) Grandma (my Mom) came last weekend. It went by wayyy too fast but was so worth it. Shawns mom is coming sometime within the next few weeks and Cathy comes the 26th for a week! Im so excited! April 4 I start school back. Im ready. I got my graduation letter in the mail too. I cant believe I am so close to finally being finished. LONGEST 7 years of my life. Delaney is going to the base daycare while Im in school and Im gonna take advantage of that and start going back to the gym so I can get my butt in shape before Shawn gets home. Ive lost A LOT of weight but I still have a ways to go before Im back in my prepregnancy jeans.
Delaney got weighed again last week and she is now up to 10 lbs 3 oz and 21.5 inches long! So breastfeeding is going well lol. I honestly did not think I would love it as much as I do or get so attached. This week we started the bottle and I thought that she would at least refuse it at first.. yeah she drank the whole thing and wanted more. And what did I do? I cried my eyes out like a baby. Whatever intention I had of her only drinking pumped milk from the bottle is now out the window. Im going to breastfeed as long as I can and only give her the bottle when Im away from her or we are out and about.
Im worried about her breathing and even brought it up at her 2 week appointment but everyone keeps telling me she is fine. But when Mom came last weekend she even said something about it. She just sounds so rhaspy and at night especially she sounds like she is gasping for air. Sometimes when she eats she chokes and has to catch her breath! I dont know if thats because she is just gulping it down or what but its freaking me out and tricare is being so stupid right now so hopefully I can have her in the doctor next week. She still sleeps in the cradle next to my bed so I can hear her and grab her...

So for some updates:
-She holds her head up all the time now..and just moves it all around to look at her surroundings.
-Shes in 0-3 month & some 3 month clothes & size 1 diapers.
-She FINALLY has a belly button! I didnt think that thing was ever gonna fall off.. so she had her first big girl bath the other day & looved it!
- She has started cooing some and it is soo sweet! BUT yesterday while we were playing I swear she was about to break out into laughter! She was smiling so big and then kinda made this panting sound like she wanted to laugh!
- she definitely found her hands and sucks on those bad boys all day! She wont take a paci though so Im happy its her hands..

Thats all I can really think of. Every day it seems like there is something new.. I feel like if I blink I will miss it all. You cant tell in her pictures but she is her Daddy! Shes got his blue eyes and blonde hair! Im anxious to see if and how it will change over the next few months!
