Leah still wants to be held all night, every night. She will sleep, but only if held, and then she only sleeps for a maximum 2 hours at a time. The annoying part is that she's rarely irritable during the day - she usually sleeps just fine in her bassinet during the day. I don't know if this is normal baby behavior, or colic, or painful digestion issues, but whatever it is, it sucks. Lucky for us, we have family members who are very interested in getting to know our latest edition, and that equals help for me after sleepless nights. Right now my Dad and his wife Wanda are visiting us and they have been relieving me at 5:30 a.m. so that I can get some sleep. I got 3 hours in a row yesterday - the most I've gotten since Leah was born almost 4 weeks ago!
But our first visitor was Grandma, my mom. She arrived 3 days after Leah was born and was with us for 2 weeks. She was a God-send and we could not have made it through those early days without her. Here are some pictures from her visit

Those are such sweet pictures! I especially love the 2 week old picture of Leah looking up at Grandma.
ReplyDeleteI second your choice of favorite photo, Priscilla, that 2 week one is super-adorable! I didn't notice at first that Grandma has a toy turtle on her shoulder, which might be contributing to the confusion on Leah's face. Though they are all great, and that was a lovely ladies brunch.
