We are learning so much about this little person we brought into the world. For example, when she is upset, saying "Shhhh..." calms her better than any pacifier could ever do. She poops a lot (I mean a LOT!) and this is always accompanied by the only fussiness we really get out of her (thank goodness). And, she LOVES bath time! I'm not sure if it's the sound of the running water or the warmth of the bath, or the sense of being pampered (she is proving to be one of those girls!), or all of those things combined that makes her so content. It sure is sweet to see, though:
I was told all throughout my pregnancy to prepare to get zero sleep once the baby arrived, so I was a little terrified of that, but Reagan has been a peach in this regard. At present time, she is sleeping five-hour stretches in the night! That has been a welcomed surprise! I think we are finally settling into some semblance of a routine. It is so nice for me that Joe wakes with her in the morning before he heads off to work to change her and get her ready to be fed - it's a little extra sleep in my bank!
That's all we've got for now. More photos to come - we can't seem to stop snapping them. Oh, parenthood...
