2 Weeks Old

Today Grace Lynn is two weeks old and growing like a little weed.  It is amazing how much she has changed since the day we first met our little girl.  She is doing wonderful and such a little joy!  She is eating so well and her sleep schedule is getting somewhat better.  She still does not like going to sleep at night when we are ready to, but once she does fall asleep she sleeps for about 4 hours, which is much better than those first couple nights we had her.

2 Weeks Old!

For me, things are definitely tough sometimes, but worth every minute.  I'm not going to lie; there have been nights that I have just woke up crying because I'm just so overwhelmed and emotional.  I contribute most of that to lack of sleep, but like I said before, that is starting to get a little bit better.  Garrett has been such a huge supporter and motivator through those nights when I just felt like crying and even when he gets home from work, he does not hesitate to take over and change diapers, etc. so I can get a little rest.  I am so blessed to have such a wonderful husband and Grace is also very blessed to have such a great daddy!

This week has been a great one.  We took Grace Lynn out for the first time (which also means mama got to get out of the house!).  She did great!  Our first trip was to Target to pick up a couple things.  She was a trooper.  Luckily we didn't stay long because she wasn't having it there at the end.  Then that evening, we went out with some friends from church to dinner and to watch the magic game.  Grace was SO GOOD!  She slept the whole time and we were actually able to get dinner, lol.  And, finally, Grace made her first church appearance.  We were so excited to finally be able to take her to church and get back into our weekly routine.  Again, she did great.  She slept most the time until the very end.  And, then all it took was me picking her up to get her asleep again.  We are so blessed to have such a wonderful little girl that brings us so much joy.  She is one wonderful little miracle baby.  How any one could have a baby or witness the birth of a baby and not believe in God is incredible because for me, looking at her every day emphasises just how great our God is.  He is amazing and I am so thankful for this blessing that he provided us!

Love this little face!
