3 weeks!

Gabby is 3 weeks old today! It's amazing how much your life can change in just 21 days! She is doing really well - the last time we took her to the doctor she weighed 7.7 lbs - and that was over a week ago...so hopefully she's bigger now.

She has her days and nights pretty much figured out (knock on wood). She usually eats around 11:00/Midnight and will get up once in the night (3:00/4:00), so we can't complain about that!

Brandon had two weeks off when she was first home, but went back to work this week. It was hard being without him and both mom and Gabby definitely missed having him here! On that note, I officially survived my first week alone with her :) We kept ourselves busy...she even had her first "play date" with Luke Henely (my friend Jessica's baby). Luke was born 2 days after Gabby and Jessica and I are convinced they are going to be the best of friends.

Today we are going to my cousin McKenzie's wedding. It will be fun to dress Miss. Gabby up in her P-A-R-T-Y dress! We're looking forward to the wedding and wish McKenzie and Jessie all the best...

Many of you have asked about Kinnick and how he is doing with this whole experience. He is doing really good for the most part, he has mastered the art of sitting on his bed and pouting. He accompanies this pouting with momentary deep sighing, just so you remember he's here and your (yet again) not paying attention to him. He smells Gabby, and then doesn't really want a whole lot to do with her. Surprisingly he's been good about not taking her things and running crazed around our house. I was afraid we'd have many moments of him thinking we were playing tug of war with her blanket and me wanting to strangle him with said blanket. But, so far - so good. He still gets his nightly "Dad" time, so that seems to tide him over during the day. To sum it all up - he's adjusting. Slowly.....

Below are some pictures of the little lady! Enjoy!
