Baby was officially three weeks old yesterday (it's going so fast!). She celebrated by NOT crying during bathtime for the first time ever. (she's had a bath every other day since she was born and has always hated it). Instead, she watched me with big serious eyes. then I tried to take her out of the tub and she cried.
Baby is a nighttime party animal. she has a longer awake period in the late morning and in the evening. Lately, "evening" has been from about 6:30 to 11:30. she also tends to get fussy in the evening and will only go to sleep if I hold her until she's deep asleep. Her favorite place to sleep (other than my arms) is daddy's pillow. She will sleep deeper and longer here than anywhere else. Her favorite time to sleep (based on length and peacefulness of sleep) is in the morning.
The ceiling fan is fascinating to her. She will just stare and watch perfectly content for long periods of time. Which works out well because then I can just stare and watch her.
For her three week old birthday she got her first piece of mail--her social security card. I got her first hospital bill. I'd suggest playing "guess how much a week in NICU costs" but its too depressing. Thank heavens for insurance.
Her big sisters are crazy about her and I have some semi-serious concerns about them smothering her with their cuddles and kisses. Ladybug loves to hold the baby's hand and Butterfly is so proud of herself for being "mommy's big helper". She even prays for Heavenly Father to help her be a good sister.
Our new carseat arrangement is working out great. Butterfly sits in the middle so she can peek under the canopy to check if baby is asleep or when baby is crying, she tries to give her a binky. She's amazingly gentle and sweet and so helpful.
Her 3 year old big sister pointed out that when baby screams it sounds like she's saying "no". First word? ...yikes.
