BIG stuff.

BIG Clothes! Abby is finally in to 0-3 month clothing! She still fits into most of her newborn outfits, but we're excited to move into the bigger clothes because it means we have a lot more cute things to wear! They still look at little big on her... :)


BIG Introductions! We met Lucy last Friday, who is exactly 4 weeks younger than Abby. Her parents and I already joke about how Lucy and Abby will make great cross country teammates! It's fun to have another little baby for Abby to play with... we're excited for Kelly to have hers too and add to the fun!



BIG Success! Abby and I went and watched Uncle Brady at his section wrestling meet. He took first and is headed to state this weekend! We're hoping he makes it to finals on Saturday so we can go watch and cheer him on again.


BIG Sleep! Abby still isn't sleeping too much at night... she doesn't always wake up because she's hungry. Sometimes she needs to burp or spit up a little, and sometimes she's just too congested and needs to be walked around a little so she can breathe again. We talked to the doctor about it during her check-up, and he said that sleeping her at a 45 degree angle would probably help. Makes sense... Abby sleeps really well in her swing and car seat, which are about the right angle. He also said that the car seat is ok to sleep an infant in at night. So, we gave it a go last night, and Abby slept for about 4 1/2 hours straight! Hopefully this is just the beginning of a lot of long sleeps at night!

My how time flies...



I can't believe Abby is almost 6 weeks already! Where did the time go? Everyday she seems to change... she's over 7 lbs now, smiles a lot more (though she still hasn't figured out why to smile), and her personality is starting to develop. I can already tell she's going to be strong... and maybe even a little stubborn! Abby is a very content little girl... until she wants something or is uncomfortable... then she lets you know without holding anything back. She loves to cuddle with mom in the morning and dad when he comes home from work, laying on her back and kicking around, swinging in her swing, and I think she's even starting to enjoy her baths!





I head back to work next week, and while I'm looking forward to getting out of the house more and seeing all my co-workers again, it will be very difficult to leave my little Abby. Thankfully, she'll be with a young lady every day who will be able to devote all of her time and attention to Abby since she only does infant care and is yet to have kids of her own. We were very lucky to find her, and I really do think we have the best of a tough situation. Enough about that... back to enjoying the full days I have left with my baby girl!
