And, what was I doing?.........

This week I am realizing that sleep deprivation is catching up with me. For one, I thought my brother's birthday was on Wednesday when it really was on Monday. I had the date right, just not the day of the week. In the nick of time, I set up a babysitter for Anna so I could work on Tuesday and to top it off, the laundry I've been meaning to get done is still just sitting there. I've been meaning to get so many things done and the next thing I know I'm doing something else and have completely forgotten about what I really need to do! I'm just so tired! Good news, Anna is sleeping so much better! The crib transition is complete, at least for now. I think I'm still holding my breath a little on this one but she's spent the last 4 nights now in her crib on her own. It's been amazing! She's also sleeping 6-7 hour stretches. It was taking 2-3 hours to get her to sleep and now it's only about 20 minutes, she's really learning to soothe herself. I'm loving it!

Just as a great routine gets started, she got her first set of shots today. I'm hoping it doens't throw everything off! She's doing well so far, just a little fussy and she cries when she moves her legs. So, she's been getting tylenol around the clock. It just breaks my heart to see her uncomfortable! She's growing, getting so big and this is just another milestone to get through. She's now 10 lbs 5 oz and almost 22 inches long! Such a big girl! Ok, off to bed for me.....here's a little cartoon that describes my week (:

Smiles.....


Anna started smiling this weekend! It is absolutely adorable. There is just nothing better. I woke up this morning and she was grunting away and making her little noises. I started talking to her telling her good morning and she just smiled. Now, I am not a morning person what so ever or at least I really don't like waking up early but for a smile, it's worth it (: It is so fun to watch and wonder what she will do next. She is currently in the swing smiling away at her fish mobile. She loves it. Not so much the swinging part but the music and watching something.

On another note in mommy world. I put in my two weeks at Renown in the ER and have accepted a job at Saint Mary's the other hospital in Reno in the ICU. It is part time nights which is just two nights a week which will be great. Now it's just figuring out what two nights will work the best with Peter and I's schedules. We'll have to figure that out. I left Renown because they only gave me 6 weeks leave which would put me back at work this upcoming Monday. No way! At Saints, I don't start until May 12th so I have another 5 weeks at home to watch these amazing smiles! I'll try posting a picture as soon as she smiles long enough to capture a good shot....can't wait to share!

Pictures

Some new pictures from the last couple weeks (: It's amazing to see how big she's gotten! I can't believe how much she's changed just in the last couple weeks......



"Hmmm....I don't know if I like this swing....."



"Big yawn!"



"Daddy, what am I wearing?? Please work on the color coordination and matching....(:" This is what Peter chose for Anna to wear after her bath.....I just laughed and smiled. Good thing she doesn't mind too much right now!



"I love my bouncer!"
