It's been a tough road, but it's been totally worth it!

Holy cow, how time flies!!

Good grief, it's been over 2 weeks since my last post! We have been so busy these past few weeks, so I'll try and update more often, so it won't have to be all in one post! Elizabeth is doing great! She is growing nicely, and changing everyday. A couple weeks ago we had some issues with nursing that I think we finally resolved. It's been a hard road for that! You would think it's the most natural, easy thing in the world to do, but it's not! Thankfully now, she's eating normally and growing well as a result! I weighed her this morning before we gave her a bath (I have a US postage scale for the business that measures pounds and ounces... up to 10lbs!), and she is now weighing in at a healthy 9lbs. 2 oz! She has also grown an inch in length, so we are getting too tall for some of her sleepers already! She sleeps pretty good at night, we are down to only one feeding a night, usually around 3am, then off to bed again until about 7:30am.

We have made several outings already. On Feb. 6th we went to our friend's daughter's, Sofie, 6th birthday party! She was such a good girl, just let her get passed from person to person, eventually passing out in her carseat while we all ate dinner. She even got a picture with the birthday girl herself!



We also went to another birthday party for my nephew Ben, who turned 6 also! That was on Valentine's Day, where we had lots of good pizza, Stacy's famous salad, and cake and ice cream for dessert! This was the first time all the nephews got to meet their cousin Elizabeth! They were all very excited to meet her. The oldest cousin, John, who is 14, even held her for awhile!



We have also been to Target (which she slept through the whole time) and to a wedding rehersal dinner last weekend. She was perfectly behaved the whole time, as everyone just oohed and ahhed over her. Gotta love it! We have had lots of visitors come too, which is fun. It certainly has kept us busy at home. She also loves this gym thing that one of my friends bought for us for her, and I got a video of it. It was taken on my cell phone, so don't know how clear it will be:



Today, she is 4 weeks and 4 days. She is so much fun! Here are a few more pics we took recently:











I hope to keep updating more frequently, so please keep checking back to see how our peanut is doing! Thanks again for all the love and support everyone has shown us! We are so blessed!!
