My little girl is one month old

Emma and her parents.




This is Emma in her Easter outfit.

We are doing much better. Breastfeeding is pretty much under control, she isn't killing my nipples anymore, which is fantastic! She is letting me sleep for 2-4 hours at a time at night followed by a few 2 hour naps throughout the night. Thanks to Shanti, we have discovered that she sleeps pretty well in her car seat. We have two, thanks to Leah and my co-worker Allison so we keep one in the bedroom and the other is for the car. Emma was 7 pounds 9 ounces almost 2 weeks ago, but I am sure she weighs more now. Her ears look bigger to me. She has been getting fussy in the evenings, and eats constantly from around 7-11pm. Unfortunately Shawn doesn't get much happy time with her before she starts her fussiness because he gets home between 4 and 5.

My parents are visiting and are being great. I haven't had to cook, do dishes, or fold laundry for many days. Alyson is going to make a few meals to freeze for us. I have been able to take a shower in the mornings every day, and have even had a few naps. Emma loves her grandparents. Alyson is really good at putting Emma to sleep, and Dad has been singing the Asari Asara song that I remember him singing to my sisters, and I know he sang to me. It's very cute. They bought us a swing for Emma and she seems to like it a lot. It buys us a few minutes to take care of ourselves.

It is 8:00 and she is mid fussy, so I must return to being the human pacifier!
