Milly Mae

Introducing: Amelia Mae

(I mostly call her Milly)

 

This is the contraption some doctor decided we should put her in.  I have a very love/hate relationship with this brace.  On the one hand I feel like it is stealing my newborn cuddle time.  Very annoying.  On the other hand, the doctor seems to feel justified in her reasoning for the torturing of Milly's first moments in this life with it.  I don't know.  But I usually opt to listen to the professionals.  Who am I to argue?  Her mom or something??

I can't believe how fast four weeks have flown.  Milly has been such a joy to feed and change around the clock.  (I'm really only being slightly facetious- she really has been a joy, no matter time of day/night.)  She is our biggest baby yet, a healthy 7 lbs 14 oz, despite being induced a week early.  (I am so glad I didn't go through another week of pregnancy.) 

Grandma came out from sunny CA to tolerate the cold weather and throw a 0-birthday party (for Breanne and Heidi, of course). The girls loved it! They love their grandma, and regularly ask to "drive for a really long time" to see her. So funny. One of these days the prospect of nicer weather is going to be too much for me to turn down...

In the meantime, enjoy my daughters' latest fashion statement- layering their dresses.  These two partners in crime make our little family so entertaining, most of the time ;)
