Moving Right Along

Sorry there hasn't been much of an update - we're all doing great but have been busy!

Hannah is still eating like a champ and growing like a weed! Not sure how much she weighs, but she's got to be over 7 lbs by now. We'll have a wellness appointment with the pediatrician in the next couple of weeks so we should have an official weight check then. Hannah has been sleeping in a bassinet since we brought her home but as of yesterday, she has officially been moved to her crib. She was starting to get too long for the bassinet and she likes to kick her feet and she was starting to look like a sardine in there (though she looked lost in the crib when we first got her home). She seems to love the crib - she likes to look at the designs on the bumpers and she seems to like to have more room to squirm around and move her legs. It's hard to believe how tiny she was just a month ago compared to how big she is now. She's been exclusively in newborn clothes and diapers for about three weeks now and her preemie hats no longer fit her head. :)

I've been spending a lot of time getting the house organized and more cleaned up as I'll be going back to work starting this Sunday. I have really missed work and my coworkers, but I know it's going to be very very hard being away from Hannah all day. I'm thankful that I only work 15 minutes away from her, but not seeing her for 8+ hours is going to be difficult.

Here are a couple of pictures of Hannah in her crib and some other pics we've taken since our last update. Enjoy!

Progress

Hannah has been doing great since she's been home. She weighed in at 4lbs 15oz at her follow-up appointment this past Wednesday (November 28th) so she's on par with the 1oz/day weight gain that she should be having. She's still eating great and has developed a bit of a double chin and some chubby cheeks. It's wonderful to see that after seeing how tiny she was while she was still at the hospital. She's also having more awake/alert time now and really likes listening to the sounds around her. Her eyes get really wide when she hears a new sounds - it's fun to watch her learning and observing new things.

I had two surgical follow-up appointments this past week and had the steri strips ripped off (literally--OUCH). The incision is healing well and I'm getting around okay, but it hurts when any sort of pressure is applied to it (which means wearing regular clothes is pretty uncomfortable). Hoping that it will feel better in a few weeks because I probably can't wear pajamas out in public or to work. ;o)

Other than that, we're doing well. Here are some more pictures!

Hannah likes the Christmas tree lights.

Oscar finally got to give Hannah a good sniff.

Daddy/Hannah time.

Lookin' at you, lookin' at me, kid.

Cute little double chin and chubby cheeks.

Here we all are! :)
