Time keeps moving forward. 11 weeks have already passed since we welcomed sweet Via into the world. Life is so busy that I haven't had much time for doing too many extra-curricular activities
(like blogging). But the baby is napping (for once), so I'll try to get an update out there.
Since we moved to the frigid north life has been somewhat challenging. Via went from sleeping 5-6 hours straight, to giving us only 2-3 hour chunks of sleep. Yikes. Some days Justin and I both closely resemble zombies. On the upside of things, she is an absolute delight when she is awake. Smiling, blowing bubbles, showing interest in toys, batting at the dangling items on the play gym, and growing all the time! From her four week checkup to her eight week checkup she grew two whole inches! At her eight week checkup she was 50th percentile for weight and 90th for height. I'm still trying to figure out if this tall skinny baby is my child. :)
I went back to work five weeks ago, and it has been more difficult than I imagined. With the limited amounts of sleep that we're getting I am lacking the energy and focus that I really need to perform well. Not good. I've always been proud of being a hard worker, and now I feel like a slacker. My resolve for this week is to do what I know I am capable of. I know I can do better. Monday is the start of a new week, and I must do more. There, I said it.
The house hunt seems to have drawn to a close. Hooray! We found a cute little house in a nice Oakdale neighborhood near a park and a lake. It was a crazy couple of weeks after the house was on the market and off the market a couple of times. Finally we were able to make an offer and it was accepted! We've had the inspection and it went well, so we just need to get through the appraisal and financing portion of things. Our close date is scheduled for February 25!
So, to summarize - baby is good, but it would be fantastic if she slept better - work is hard, but I can do better - house hunt appears to be over and by the end of February we will finally be able to put our baby in a nursery (maybe having her own room will help the sleep issue)!
