A few things to "Blog" about...

Hannah 3 months old

Here are a couple of new pictures. One is just of Hannah now 3 months old and the other is Hannah and Mommy working on school. This has been what we have done for the past few months.



Here's whats going on in the Yeager home...
1). DONE. I am DONE with graduate school! 3 long years of Grad school, plus 2 years of nursing school, and 4 years at A&M. I am finally done with school. I turned in my last assignments/clinical papers today. I don't technically graduate until the 18th, but it doesn't matter. To me, I am DONE. (I also still have a huge certification exam I have to take, but lets not rain on my parade right now!) For the time being, I will continue to work 2 days at the clinic for additional experience. Then, I will transition into a part-time position as a PNP after I become certified and get my prescription privileges.
2). Daisy. Every time I come home with Hannah or my mom brings her home, Daisy thinks we are bringing home a brand new baby! She gets so excited! She practically propels herself into the carseat licking Hannah everywhere. Thankfully Hannah doesn't seem to mind. It is really funny though.
3)Hannah. Hannah is hilarious! As I am typing, she is lying in my lap just talking and cooing! I love it. She laughs at us all of the time. And loves to smile! Her best times are in the morning right when she wakes up. She is so happy and interacts so well with us. I just love watching her personality come out. Baby Einstein movies are a new form of entertainment for her. She can almost sit in her swing and watch an entire one before getting restless.
4) Sleep. People are always asking me how Hannah is sleeping. Just in case I haven't bragged to you, Hannah sleeps an average of 12 hours a night. I have the best baby ever! I like to think that I have trained her to do this. Generally, we put her down about 10:30 and she will sleep until about 10:00. I am still having to get up and pump around 8:00 or so, but I go back to sleep and wake up about 10:00 and feed her. On days that I work, she gets woken up at 7:15 and I take her to my mom's house where I feed her and then go to work. After I feed her, she will go right back to sleep and usually sleeps until noon when Grandmommy wakes her up to eat.
5)Thumb sucker. We have found our thumb. In the past week we have gone from trying to stick our whole fist in our mouth to isolating our thumb and sucking. I would of preferred she take a pacifier instead but I guess it wasn't my choice. Fortunately and Unfortunately she really only does this when she is hungry. I was hoping she would take a pacifier as a comfort measure which she has not. She will take it for a few minutes but is definitely not attached. If she is going to suck her thumb, I hope she will use it to comfort herself. She also has not chosen a dominant thumb. She switches from her right and left often. Now, as I am typing, she has that thumb in her mouth! I will have to take a picture of that when she is not sitting on my lap.

And now for the news of the week... The snow cone stand is up now by Ski Skeller! Pink Lemonade is my favorite and I am trading my September through April treat (diet vanilla cokes with cream from Sonic) for a daily Pink Lemonade snow cone. (Okay, maybe not daily, and I am probably not giving up on Sonic... But I am truly excited about snow cone season!)
