A much needed update

It has been awhile since I've posted here so I thought I would take the time to do that now while the little princess is sleeping.

Let's go back to Sunday, September 10th. I had my first baby shower...Ron's Mom's side of the family. It was a lot of fun and Rachel got a lot of great gifts. She was actually awake for the whole shower, too - quite an amazing task for those of you who know Rachel (she LOVES to sleep - she gets that from me).

Monday was a great day - Rachel will finally breastfeed without interruptions now. Before she would latch on and feed for about 2-3 minutes and then fall asleep. Now she will stay awake for her full feeding! Even though it took her a month to figure it out - it's well worth it.

Rob & Amanda came over for dinner on Tuesday night and Rachel showed them that she has good little lungs. Ron and I couldn't figure out for the life of us why she was so fussy. The simple answer - she was hungry! ha ha We're terrible parents who just lost track of time I guess.

Auntie Donna came over last night and Rachel was just in 7th Heaven because she got to cuddle. Rachel LOVES to cuddle. Rachel was also spoiled AGAIN by Auntie Donna - she got a jean jacket (too friggin' cute) and a little Halloween onesie. I can't wait for October because Rachel will be wearing that onesie a lot :)

Today we went for Rachel's follow up hearing test. She didn't pass the left ear test in the hospital because there was too much mucus in there from birth. However, today she passed with no problems at all and she was a good girl through the test as well. She slept through it - SHOCKING I know! ha ha

It's going to be a quiet weekend and I'm looking forward to it. We have a few things we want to do around the house and then Steve & Melissa are coming over on Saturday night with their little baby, Kayden. It's kind of weird because Ron works with Steve and I used to work with Melissa. Very small world. Anyway, it will be good to see them - Kayden is only 3 days younger than Rachel. Other than that, we hope to relax this weekend and then before we know it, Monday will be here and we'll be starting another week.

I can't believe I have my 6 week check up with the doctor in a week - it's gone by so fast! And then on Thursday I have a shower at work so that will be great. I'm looking forward to that.

I've tried to upload pictures today but for some reason Blogger is not cooperating. I will try again later.
