I can lift my head and Mommy can drive again!

This weekend was pretty laid back, but I'm still so tired! Matt had to work on Saturday, so Mom and I hung out with Reese. The day flew by! My friend Amanda and her husband Pete came by to meet Reese and go on an errand with me. It was my first time to drive since Reese was born, and I wanted someone to be with me. I needed to buy a gift for Dr. Leeds-Richter, Dr. Firpo and Nurse Amy since they took such great care of us during the pregnancy. I was on a mission to the unique jewelry store, Fly High Little Bunny, which is only about a mile or so from our house. The drive was fine, Pete said I passed. I was glad Amanda went with me to pick out the necklaces because I am so indecisive. It was nice to get out for a bit and be independent again. Mom stayed home with Reese and I got back just in time to feed her again.

Last night, Matt feed Reese at 1:00 a.m. in an attempt to give me 5 hours of straight sleep. Unfortunately, Reese was a little fussy, so we were both up and down with her from about 11:00 p.m. to 3:00 a.m. I think the issue was that she kept getting out of her swaddle. I finally got her wrapped up good about 3:00 a.m., and she slept well until I woke her up to eat again at 4:00 a.m. Getting only 2 hours of sleep at a time is wearing on me, but I hope her doctor will say we spread out the feedings soon (like Monday).

Today, we packed up the maternity clothes and broke out the pre-preggo duds. We needed to organize our closets from the move and Mom was a huge help. We are also making headway on the guest bedroom/office. My Grandma Ruth will be here next week, so we need to make it liveable for her.

Here is what Reese has been up to over the past few days...

Hi Mommy!

Stretch! She does this when she takes a break during her feeding.

Cuddling with Daddy! This helps to calm her after she finishes eating and before we put her down. Look at her little smile.

I can lift my head! After eating (I told you we do this 8 times a day), she lifted up her head and flashed those beautiful eyes at me. I think we can start some tummy time this week!

Cuddling with Mommy!

Cuddling with Grandma Fredda!

Mom took a break to hold Reese before I fed her again at 4:00 p.m.

Our sweet family!

Hi Daddy!
