If you're logging on to the blog today, don't think you've fallen way behind because of all of the new posts! I just posted several things in the past couple of hours. I had several pictures I've been wanting to share but I just hadn't gotten around to posting them yet. Make sure you catch Joanna's 6-week picture (the first one I posted today). She is really changing! Matt showed me her 6-week picture next to her 1-month picture and she just looks so much more grown up!
She has started smiling at us more and more and it melts our hearts every. time.
She is still being a great sleeper. We have developed a bit of a schedule now, so things are starting to settle down and not feel quite so crazy. Around 8pm we start to wind down with her. Matt swaddles her and I feed her, then we read some stories, sing some songs, rock her, and love on her. She goes to sleep sometime between 8-10pm. We usually go to bed when she does, even if it is 8pm! Her first stretch of the night she usually sleeps for 4-5 hours. After that, she'll wake up every 2-3 hours to eat, but usually goes right back to sleep after eating. She wakes up between 6-7am.
Matt is leaving for Colorado in the morning for a week long trip with the youth group. I know it'll be a great trip, but we are all a little (or a lot) sad about being away from each other for so long. Nana is coming down to stay and help out while Matt is gone.
We've learned that Joanna doesn't respond well when I have milk or dairy products. She gets VERY fussy and gassy. So even though some of my favorite things are milk, cheese, and ice cream, I've cut them from my diet and we've seen a huge improvement. Apparently that is pretty common in babies, and most outgrow it eventually.
That's about it for now! Things are going well - we're getting plenty of sleep and we have a super sweet (and not to mention cute!) baby, so we're doing alright!
