3 weeks old!


It's hard to believe that little Miss Rylynn is already three weeks old! She has been doing great and has developed some patterns of her own. She is a great baby and I am thrilled that she sleeps well at night with feedings every few hours. However, I've learned that if I think I am going to get a nap in during the day, I better do it before 3:00 or so because she does get a little fussy each afternoon.
She loves going for walks in her stroller, but is not too crazy about getting in her car seat just yet. I'm afraid it may be a long ride home next week!! We're trying to get her used to it slowly without causing too much stress or increasing her breathing by too much, but we may have to make several stops on our way to Austin. We have also learned that she is not yet thrilled with taking baths. We still can not submerge her in a bath though so she has to take sponge baths and I don't blame her for the dislike. The process is pretty terrible so we're ready for that chest to heal up enough to let us get her in a warm bathtub.
It's been a crazy three weeks with so many highs and lows, but the blessing of our little girl is indescribable. We love her so much and just can't get enough.
With love . . .
