12 Weeks

Hannah Grace is now 12 weeks old! Wow! She is starting to be "vocal" and we have "conversations" now. It is just babble but it makes us both smile :). She can almost sign to me that she is hungry, I will say "are you hungry?" and she will put her hand to her mouth as if she is telling me yes. She is growing out of her 0-3 month clothes :( , I tear up every time I have to put something away that doesn't fit anymore, they don't stay small for long, that is for sure. It is only the beginning! She is finally sleeping peacefully through the night, only because we gave in and put her on her tummy to sleep, which is what she seems to prefer but we have been trying to get her on her back for 3 months because that is what they tell you to do, but this baby does NOT like sleeping on her back, poor baby, she could have rested so much better and we could have too. She is strong enough to lift her head and move it from side to side so it is getting easier to not worry all night about her breathing. I still worry though, and probably always will. When she wakes in the morning, she will stretch a good bit and then open her eyes and as soon as she sees me she smiles :), oh how I love her smile, it really gets my day going! She really is a calm, happy baby, and for that we are grateful.

2 MONTH CHECKUP

Miss Hannah is now 2 months old (well technically she was 2 months on October 6th). I took her for her checkup this morning. She is 12 lbs 12 oz and 24" long. She got her first round of vaccinations, bless her heart, but she did well, she only cried and clenched her fists when the nurse stuck her and then it was over. I was grateful to spend a little extra time with her before heading back to work today. Speaking of work...I am doing a lot better and getting adjusted to going to work but I would still rather be with miss Hannah. At least I can spend all weekend with her :).

Photos Of Miss Hannah and Thoughts About Going Back To Work

Miss Hannah is a little more than 8 weeks old now. Time flies but also has seemed to stand still in a way. I guess because life is happening all around us but we are in our own little world, me, Hannah and Damon, it's a whole new world with new lessons to learn and new adjustments to make. Speaking of new adjustments, I go back to work Monday and I DON'T WANT TO! I want to spend my days with miss Hannah, I don't want to miss a thing, I don't want someone else hearing her first word, or experiencing her first anything! But for now, I HAVE to. Please pray for my peace, I will be a basketcase when I have to leave her to go to work. Please pray also that things change so that I can be home with her and if anyone knows of anyway I could work from home please let me know :).
