It is hard to believe that four weeks ago right now we were in labor about to meet our little girl so soon! That time seems so long ago now yet at the same time it feels like these first four weeks went by so quickly. Brenna continues to be doing great. This morning we had fun together as she was tracking me as I moved from side to side--it's cool that just last week she couldn't do that.
We think she weighs about 8 and 2/3 pounds right now based on our highly scientific process of weighing one of us with her and then without holding her. Brenna still isn't a great breast feeder but thankfully she'll take breast milk from a bottle, no problem. Monday we have an appointment with a doctor who helps infants with weak suck reflexes--who knew that problem existed or that there were doctors to help with it?!?
Pat went back to work this week so Brenna and I were on our own a bit more. So far it is going well! We had a few visitors, have gone for some walks, and ran errands one day. It is fun to get out and about with Brenna, especially as she is so portable these days.
Our Christmas was wonderful!! Grandma Ann and Grandpa Bill came in to town and we all had fun at Christmas at my parents' house. It was so great that Ann and Bill were able to come to meet Brenna in person and spend the week with us!! Brenna loved her afternoon naps being held by her grandma--and Pat and I enjoyed taking more naps ourselves too! Brenna's cousins love her so much and enjoyed being with her again at Christmas. It is so cute to see how much they love holding her and giving her kisses!
