Wow! Our darling graanddaughter is now 3 weeks old. That's hard to believe how time flies. Savina had another appointment yesterday with her mdwife and she has gained 2 ounces in 4 days. Which is what they want them to gain. It's been a bit like a yo-yo. She was down 1 pound and 4 days ago she hadn't gained or lost any weight in 10 days. So 2 ounces hopefully means that she is on the gain. My daughter will be attending the breastfeeding guru Jack Newman Clinic. He is suppose to be the best when it comes to support. My daughter is really sticking it out and is really sticking with the rigid time schedule for feeding. Way to go!
Angie is feeling much better now and is ready to attack her schooling. She is doing independent learning and is home schooled right now so to say, she will just plug away at her own pace around Savina. We are all settling wonderfully with our newest addition and could not imagine it any other way.
My live our lives are filled with so much blessings!
Welcome to my Nanny Blog. Here I will tell tales of what it's like to be to have a teenage daughter who is a mother. Which in turns makes me a Nanny.....

Week One
It really is tough to get on to blog, with the addition to our family. With saying that yesterday marked Savina's first week. I'm really going to try and blog every week....
It has been a wonderful week watching my daughter transform into motherhood, she has done such a fantastic job and continues to amaze me every day. With Savina coming home just hours after being born it has been a learning experience for all. How things have changed in 15 years after I had my son. Angie has nailed down breastfeading like a regular pro. There is so much support for mothers who really want to breastfeed, a lot more then I had in my day in saying that, that is the reason why I threw in the breasts so to speak.......
I know I have talked about our midwife experience in the other entries but I can't say enough about them and the wonderful job they do. You could not ask for better treatment for you and your baby then to have a midwifes touch. Angie's midwife came in on day one and spent time with Angie & Savina, made sure she was ok and helped Angie to master breastfeeding , and again on day 3 and 5 and would have came out for a home visit daily if need be......On day 3 Savina had lost one pound in total but on day 5 she had gained 3 ounces back in 2 days, way to go Angie for perservering the breastfeeding road.......On to Savina's father Mike, he has steppd up to the plate and is an awesome father!
Everyday my heart is warmed having Savina in our lives.....My life is truly blessed <3
