Week 5 Update

Sara, Mommy and Daddy are doing wonderful!!! Sara is so much more alert this past week. She is turning her head side to side, reaching out for objects around her, holding onto my hair, holding onto us slightly when we hold her, supporting her head up longer, laughing, smiling, cooing, looking at us, loves music and our voices. We adore her, she is so much fun!

She doesn't really have an eating schedule, she eats when she's hungry which is usually every 2 - 3 hours but sometimes sooner and sometimes later, which is pretty normal. She sleeps on and off throughout the day and sometimes 5 - 6 hours through the night. . .which is very nice!! Breastfeeding is going good and I'm pumping into a bottle a few times a week to start. She is taking the bottle nicely which will help when I go back to work and Brian is home. We tried the pacifier but she really doesn't take it, only a few times.

Sara and I go for our 6 week checkups next week. Will keep you posted on how we are both doing. We shall see how much more Sara has grown and hopefully I have lost ;)

One very long night, this was the only place Sara would go to sleep
(finally around 3:00 am)


The next morning, she was very tired

We all were...

Yeah, Sara in the swing. She loves it!

Woo-Hoo!
