Out and about

The past few nights have been much better! We have even gotten nearly 4 hours of sleep at a time during the night. I am cautious to say we have days and nights back in order but I don't want to jinx anything :)

We are also still enjoying fabulous meals from our dear friends. Every meal has been wonderful and we have appreciated them so much!

Today we were able to get out. My mom came along to help. This was my first time really without Stuart and have decided I better work on my upper body strength! That carseat is heavy and lifting it up into the car is a work-out! Maybe this will tone my upper arms ;) I dressed Hannah up for her day out. She wore a cute striped onesie, blue jeans (which are a little bit too big still) and big hot pink bow, a little pink sweatshirt hoodie, and the cutest pink shoes! I will post pictures soon. We started our day out by driving through Sonic and picking up lunch for Daddy and Granddaddy. Both were very excited to see us as we dropped off their lunches. I hope in a few weeks we can do that more often and even stay and eat with them. After dropping off lunches we headed to the hospital to get our PKU (newborn screening) test. Hannah did very very well having her heal stuck for blood. She hardly cried. We were also able to visit with our friend Donna! That was fun! After the hospital we swung by the pediatrician's office for a weight check. Yay! Hannah weighs 8lbs! All that feeding is paying off. She was born weighing 7lbs 13oz, babies initially lose up to 10% of their body weight the first week of life, so at her first appointment she weighed 7lbs 5 oz. A week later, she has gained it back, plus some! That is comforting to know since it is sometimes difficult to tell how much milk she is getting. Hannah is great at traveling and falls asleep as soon as she gets in her carseat. She slept most of the time we were out, Mommy did not and is pretty tired! Its hard to take a nap when the baby is up though ;)
