Abigail is now 6 weeks old and seems to be waking up :) She's been a really good baby, only occasionally fussy and pretty easy to read. This has been a gift to us, as Benjamin gave us a run for our money! My neighbor commented that she must be good because she hasn't seen Steven walking up and down the street with her (yet) :) We took her to the doctor today and she got a clean bill of health and weighed in at a whopping 8#12oz. She's gaining weight well, and looks good otherwise. 1 or 2 times per week she "spits up" large amounts, usually when her tummy is especially full. When she does this, usually it requires a new outfit for Mom and baby (she did this tonight). Smiles are more and more prevalent, which is a joy! She has been essentially sleeping through the night, waking only once in the early hours (3-6am). We learned from Benjamin never to count on something too long, because it always changes, but boy are we enjoying it! Benjamin is adjusting more and more, I think he and I are friends again :) We're somewhat finding our groove with our daily routine. I've discovered that getting any housework done is out of the question, we're lucky if I can throw together something for dinner! Thanks to my mom and mother-in-law, we have a few things in the freezer which have been helping us tremendously! Happy 6 weeks, little one!
