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.

Catching-up

So I haven't been on the computer that much because I would rather spend time with my new little one. Who could blame me. Jeff and I are still getting use to the late night feedings and diaper changing. Breann is starting to sleep longer through out the night which means I have to set my alarm to wake-up and feed her. She is so precious and I love the way she looks around when she is awake. I have to say thank you to all the people who have helped Jeff and I by making dinner for us and for coming over and watching Breann while I take a nap or run around town. It has helped us out a lot and Jeff and I are bless to know such great people.

What has been going on around here other then the baby, not much really. Jeff had his car towed by accident. I guess the mustang is too cool to be parked anywhere other then our garage. I found out that my social security number has been used by another person for disability. That scared Jeff and I so we checked my credit report and then signed up for Life Lock. Izzy is taking to Breann really well, we just need to teach her not to spaz out when friends and family come over.

The Baby is HERE!!!

Yes, on Friday April 18th, 2008 baby Alcorn came into the world and we all found out that she was a healthy baby girl. Breann Kathleen Alcorn was 7 lbs. and 2 oz., 20inches long. The labor story is one to tell but not at this time because I am recovery from the delivery and I want to make this blog short. I want to thank everyone who stuck it out in the lobby of the hospital, I know that is not an easy thing to do. Also a special thanks to Jeff and my mom for all their encouragement and support during the process. I will see you all in a couple of weeks once the little one is allowed to go out into a public place. I will up-date the blog as much as I can during that time and invite anyone who wants to hang out to just call and let me know when you plan on visiting. Love you all.

What a Weekend

Much went on this weekend with Jeff and I. Izzy graduated from puppy training with flying colors. In fact this was the best she has ever done for Jeff and I when we asked her to do something (that is saying a lot if you know our dog). On Saturday night I went over to my parents house to help my sisters decorate for my parents
35th wedding anniversary. If you notice in the pictures we decorated the only way the Bazen girls know how. Yes that is toilet paper, Tee Hee! The next morning Jeff and I went to church and shortly there after went to the hospital because I thought my water broke but it was a false alarm. After the hospital Jeff and I went back to the Parkcrest softball game in Lakewood, which our team won. Now it was time for a good hearty lunch at Farmer Bros. (great hamburgers)Jeff and I came home, finished lunch, I took a nap and Jeff took his mid-term. The power went out on us a couple of times during the evening because many people still had to many lights and the A/C running at 8pm in the evening. I think it freaked out Izzy a little bit, she was acting really weird. Jeff was thinking we were going to have an Earth quake at that point. Hope everyone else had a great weekend and try to stay cool the rest of the week.
