2 weeks!

Little Hannah Rae is officially 2 weeks old! I am so happy to be her mommy!

 Lots of new developments this week!

*Hannah has finally learned how to open her mouth when nursing (whew!) We are really starting to get the hang of it. 
*She loves to smile! I don't know if they are "real" smiles, but she does it all the time (especially when she is sleeping). It makes me so happy!
* She REALLY wants to sleep on her side. The doctors say to keep her on her back, but she somehow always manages to end up partially on her side. She can also get her hands out of my best baby burrito and hit herself in the face at night.
*The milestone book I have says they start to life up their head a little at a month old- Hannah is already doing it! When I burp her up on my shoulder, she lifts her head up and looks around (makes me nervous), so I guess she is "advanced".
* We are really getting to know our pediatrician. We've been twice this week. The good news- Hannah is back above her birth weight- at a whopping 7lb 13oz. The not so good news- we've had to have her poor little belly button cauterized twice because it isn't closing up properly. :( This was definitely harder on me than her. I don't know how I am going to handle shot time...
*We should have our car seat adventures on video. It is a two man job! Hopefully we'll get better at this!
*Hannah continues to look like her dad's twin. Her eye color remains a mystery. I am secretly hoping for brown so SOMETHING about her looks like me. :)


Thanks again to all of our family and friends that have come visit, brought gifts for Hannah, and provided meals for us! Of course I couldn't have made it through this week without my mom...cooking, cleaning, grocery shopping, running errands, helping me at the doctor, changing diapers, letting me shower, rest...etc,etc, etc... THANK YOU GRAM!
