Baylor and UT Southwestern

12 weeks, 5 days (3 months old on Wednesday!)
Sleep: Some

Sunday, Mimi left to go back to Arkansas. We wished she could've stayed longer, but her time here was quite nice. Friday morning, Rick, Savannah and I went to BUMC to see his former co-workers. Everyone thought Savannah was precious. She was awake the whole time we were there, charming everyone with her smile. She loved the attention. After that we went to Cathy's, another former co-worker, house for a while so she could see Savannah. And then we went to Southwestern to see Dr. Little, John Wentz, and Dr. Aldrich. They all thought Savannah was adorable too. She was asleep the whole time we were over there. And then we went back to Mom's house and hung out with Mimi. Savannah is growing everyday. Mimi said she had grown just in the time she had been there (10 days). And it's probably true. She eats all the time. Mimi says she's glad I'm eating more now, because I was "picky, picky picky" with my food before and didn't eat enough. But that's just not true, I ate a lot. I told her "Mimi, I ran out of room." I do eat a lot more now though. I'm basically hungry all the time, just like when I was pregnant, except maybe more so now. She just drains me dry, ya know? Anyhow, that's okay, because it means she's growing. I'm going to have to get me some more arm muscles, cause she's getting heavy. And with that, I will close for today.

Mimi

11 weeks, 4 days
Sleep: Some

Friday, Savannah met her great-grandma for the very first time. Mimi's here till the 16th. It's pretty cool. Of course, any time we ever go anywhere, Mom has to tell everyone "there's four generations here!" She's my mom *points to Mimi*, I'm her mom *points to me*, and she's her mom *points to Savannah*." Mother's Day was wonderful. I got a beautiful gold necklace from Savannah that has a diamond heart pendant on it that says "I love you" on the back. Her and Rick got me a sweet big card that she even signed herself. LOL. And Rick got me white roses. It was quite exciting having my first mother's day as a mom. There's pictures of the day on the Yahoo album. Savannah was a little cranky yesterday. We think it's because she was just gassy. I need to get some of those Mylicon gas drops. Right now, she's watching TV with her daddy on the couch.

Schedule

10 weeks, 6 days
Sleep: Some

We added more pictures to the Yahoo album. There are now 81 pictures! And more are on their way, I'm sure. Savannah has still been smiling. She's been sleeping more at night, and staying awake a lot more during the day. I discovered she's most awake around 8 or 9 in the morning till around 2-4 in the afternoon most days. Of course, 8 or 9 AM is when I'm trying to catch up on sleep from her eating at night...but she doesn't really care about my schedule. And then when I open my eyes and see her smiling at me, then I wake up. Which reminds me...the other day/night she woke up at 4 AM...not to eat, to play. She was looking at her mobile and laughing, this went on for like an hour and a half, no joke. And of course, Rick and I are up adding to the problem, making her laugh even more. Even when we'd say, "go to sleep Savannah," she'd laugh. *sigh* the life of a parent. She keeps growing steadily. She's starting to outgrow a lot of her 0-3 month clothes, and nearly all of her 0-3 month socks. It kinda makes me sad, but it's great that she's growing so much. Like mom says, " they don't stay small forever." Savannah is going to meet her great-grandma this Friday. Mimi is so excited. Anyway, I thought I would add a new page to the website, so I'm going to go work on that. Later.
