She is just coming to life...
Tuesday
My little shnookie is getting too big too fast. I can't believe it. I don't think Sorin grew this fast... but I can't remember. I stripped her down and got her on the scale today and was shocked to find that she was a whopping 13lbs!!! What the heck!?! When did this happen. So I quickly got out the pinifore that I made her (see previous post) and it was tight (around the back)... she may have a week in it at best - crap! - it took me a long time to make that. I remember staying up late finishing it one night thinking that I had to get it done in case I went into labor that night... also thinking that if I did finish it maybe I would go into labor that night because I would not have it hanging over my head... didn't happen. Anyways, I really had to struggle to get it on her and when I did I was pleasantly surprised by how cute it looked and I will be sure to make her some more...
As I mentioned, Sorin likes to hold Norah now. Here he is mastering the art of holding, while (I think) posing for the camera??
And in the process I lucked out and got this picture:
6 Weeks
I'm reading this book, Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Baby, and they talk about Newborns and how, 'like magic' things start to get better right around the 6 week mark. By 'get better' I mean that they are less fussy, sleep more, and start to smile and engage. I don't know if I would necessarily say that it is 'like magic' but things are improving. Norah, I am happy to say, is sleeping for a 4 hour stretch. Mama is feelin' good. I was getting desperate. She is also smiling, in a way. In her own special little way. Sorin is the ever loving older brother. He is requesting to hold her more and more and is making sure she has her nuk if she starts crying and he kisses her head now instead of just walking by and patting it. Life is good. Here's to it getting even better...
