4 Weeks Old

I can't believe it...Hannah is already 4 weeks old! Every Mom told me that time would fly and I sort of smiled and laughed politely thinking that I wouldn't feel that way. WRONG! There isn't much to report as far as changes or milestones are concerned in the last week but I have gotten some really good photos of her since I last blogged. I am happy to report that Hannah's sleeping is getting much better. She is still waking up in the middle of the night but only once really. We typically put her down between 9:30 and 10:30 (depending on when she is due for a feeding) and she sleeps until sometime between 2:30 or 3:30. Curt always gets up with her at this feeding so I can rest which is such a huge help! After she goes back down, she isn't waking up until sometime between 6 and 7! I typically go to bed right after her last feeding at night so I'm actually getting around 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep. It makes our days so much better and I'm loving the time I spend with her instead of being so sleepy the whole time we are up during the day! Here are some photos from the last week:

These were all taken right before I gave Hannah a bath one afternoon. I will point out that she had just pooped all over herself and me. That was a first so I guess that was our big milestone for the week! She was so happy while we were waiting for the bath to draw!

My Dad's birthday is today and we celebrated last night at my parents because they are leaving today to visit friends in North Carolina for the weekend. We watched the Tigers game (sad to say we lost) and then had a nice steak dinner. It was so fun to celebrate Dad's birthday but also because there were some special friends there, Pat and Drew Gibson. Dad met Drew and Pat at Memphis State and they have been longtime friends to Mom and Dad. I have so many fond childhood memories of family trips with the Gibson's and summertime swim parties at their old house. More than friends, they are really like second parents to me so I am so blessed they got a chance to see Hannah again last night. They were at Baptist when she was born but hadn't seen her since. Drew and Pat are moving to Memphis in about 3 weeks so spending time with them last night was such a nice treat before they move away!
