Tomorrow Anna will be one month old. I can't believe how fast the time is going by... each day kind of blends into the next. Here's the routine: feed, burp, change diaper, try to get her to sleep, and repeat! For a while she was feeding every hour which was pretty exhausting. From what I've heard she was probably going through her first growth spurt. Luckily (for me) she's on more of an every 2-3 hour schedule now. I would say I'm getting a total of about 6 hours of sleep each night in 1-2 hour increments. If she weren't so darn cute I might be annoyed!
It took me a while to feel comfortable leaving the house with her but now we go for walks and run errands together in the neighborhood. Every so often we'll go out in the car but it all has to be timed just right. We're slowly figuring things out, one day at a time.
Last week we attempted some "tummy time" so she can practice lifting her head and strengthening her neck. Let's just say it didn't go too well, as shown below.
Looking a little frustrated Too exhausting - time for a quick nap Happy to be back on her back!

I remember the 6-hour-broken-into-chunks evenings with Gwen. Oh, the memories. Anna is oh-so-adorable. I see her mama in her :)
Happy one month, little Anna!
Can't wait to meet you!
How adorable! Soon she'll be doing the 'turtle thing' and then wanting to flip over. You'll be surprised how quickly she'll change. I love the updates.
What a cutie! What big bright eyes (when they are open). Todd looks like he wants to be on the same nap schedule. Your doing great!
