10 Weeks

Gracie is rapidly approaching her 11 week mark. She is growing like a weed and I notice changes in her everyday. She is still not sleeping through the night, she gets up between 2:30 and 3:30 every night ready to eat. She is very healthy and enjoys her feedings so I can't complain. Last week we went to Atlanta with John for two days and got to spend some quality time with my family. My Mom and sister are so good with her and her sour hours were very mild for her. I have noticed she is much better at night when she has a good long afternoon nap. She still loves her bath time and smiles all the way through it. We need to film it one night. I apologize for not keeping the blog up the past two weeks, I am trying to juggle work too! My last day will be the 25th. We have been very fortunate to have John's family and my family helping us with Gracie while we work. Here are some good pictures we took recently.

Two Months old!

I am sorry it has taken me awhile to update. I am back at work for the month of July so I have less time to update her blog than I did on my maternity leave. Monday was her two month check-up and her first round of shots. John was out of town and my Mom was here to watch Gracie so she went with us. Gracie was so good and fell asleep in my arms, until they came at her with three big needles. They gave two in one leg and one in the other. Luckily she has a little bit meatier legs thank some two month old babies so she might not have been quite as sore. She screamed for a minute or two then fell back asleep. They told me she might be a little groggy and fussy but to call them with any concerns. She had a rough afternoon. She cried most of the afternoon and the only thing that made her feel better was being held. I was working so my Mom did all of the holding. Our house is not very big and since I work at home, I know that anyone who called me wondered if I was running a day care or working for LLS. That night she went to bed at 9:30pm and slept until 6am. I went in twice during the night to make sure she was breathing. I was so excited until last night came and she woke up at 3am for her usual nighttime feeding. I guess it was the shots and we are still a little while away from sleeping through the night. I have confidence it will come soon! The doctor said she looked healthy and is growing on her curve! I will not reveal her weight since a lady never tells, but she is definitely healthy. She is smiling at our facial expressions and is starting to make noises at us. It is so much fun to watch her respond. Before we know it she will be sitting up on her own! This weekend she is going to John's Mom's house for the fourth so that we can enjoy some much needed R&R at the lake! Happy fourth to everyone!
