Six weeks

So last night was the first night that Breann slept a full five hours between feedings. I got to sleep the whole five hours too. She fell asleep around 11pm and woke me up around 4am. After the feeding she was looking around, making baby noise and ginving me little smiles here and there. Haven't quite captured one on camera yet but hopefully soon. I can't wait tell she starts kooing at me but I love the facial expressions she makes. She lifts her head up when it is tummy time and loves sleeping on her daddy's belly (I have a picture of the two but Jeff won't let me put it up). She is getting so big and strong and I can't believe she is already six weeks. I plan on her making her first church apperance this Sunday.

Sleep Little One

I can't believe that Breann is a month old. I was looking back at some of the pictures Sara and Amy took the first week she was home and she looked so tiny and small. Now she looks like my niece Lexi when she was born (Lexi was a big baby). Jeff and I are still fighting our nights with the little one, for some reason she thinks it is a great time to fuss and cry. We have learned other soothing ways to calm her down but figuring which one will work that night is becoming a challenge. But in the morning Breann and I will lay on the couch and watch Deadliest Catch and try to beat the heat.

Mother's Day Weekend

So I had a great Mother's Day weekend. Saturday morning Jeff and I were suppose to go to LA for the Revlon Walk for Women's Cancer but I was really tired and we also had plans to go to San Diego for Mother's Day with my family. My aunt and uncle were down from Seattle and they were able to see Breann before having to leave. Sunday morning Jeff and I went over to my parents house to celebrate Mother's Day with them and later that afternoon we celebrated with Jeff's side of the family. Very busy but fun weekend. Happy Be-lated Mother's Day to all the moms out there.

Journaling

I am trying to get a blog in while the little one is sleeping. Not many people know this but beside the blog I am keeping a little journal for Breann. I try to write in it at least once a week and each time I write a prayer for her. Now my hope is later in life she can look back on this book and read when her first smile was, how her bath times went and eventually her first steps and so on. I am not sure really why I got the notion to do this but I do find it relaxing and comforting when I sit in the room with her while she sleeps and write to her in her journal. Then I read to her for the children's Bible and sing to her before going to sleep. It is funny how your life changes when you focus on something other then yourself.
