six weeks already!

So Natalie is already celebratign her 6 week birthday, ah she is growing up ..too fast. already there are a couple sleepres that are a wee bit too snug on her. I never appreciated how much work went into raising a newborn. To all the moms out there I salute you! Speaking of moms we are going to visit with some other mommies and babies this afternoon. We have been in contact with the other moms from out prenatal group and meet with them every wednesday, but today the daddies get to join in the fun. I am sure you can see the cute pictureof Natalie and her buddy Connor. As I took the picture She was looking at me and Connor was looking at his mom so they are both staring off in different directions.

Fortunatly she is sleeping right now and that means that I am running around the house like a mad woman cleaning, doing laundry and making dessert squares for the party this afternoon. The baby books all say to sleep when the baby is sleeping but I need to use that time to get stuff done around the house. You try and take a nap on demand and tell how that works for you. Anyways she is pretty good at sleeping during the night, and by pretty good I mean she wakes up every 4 hours and feeding and diapering and getting back to sleep usually takes 30-40 minutes. Feeding her is what takes up a lot of time. She had a growth spurt last week and had to be fed every 2-2.5 hours, luckly we are back to 4 hours. Take acare and enjoy this gorgeous November weather that we are having.
