Six Weeks with Savannah

We've made it through the first six weeks with our beautiful baby girl - and what an amazing six weeks it has been! The first couple of weeks we didn't think we'd ever sleep again, but in the last few weeks we've had several nights when Savannah slept for 8 hours in a row. The worst case scenario we've faced with sleep (lately) is that Savannah will sleep for several hours (usually at least 5), wake up around 3:30 or so, eat, and then sleep for another stretch (4 hours, usually). To only have to get up once in the middle of the night for about an hour with a six week old is NOT something I'm going to complain about!

Savannah's one month well appointment was fabulous. Her pediatrician said everything looked great and that Savannah was a healthy little girl. She weighed 8 pounds, 9 ounces and measured 21 inches long. (When I was born, I was 21 inches & 9 pounds... Savannah's Mommy was a big girl!) Her weight and length are both in the 50th percentile among babies her age.

We've had several visits with Nana Daune, Papa Charlie, and Nana Lou. To say that they adore Savannah would be a HUGE understatement. :) Savannah also got to meet my Aunt Sandi, cousins Jennifer & Amber, and Jimmy & Amber's son, Luke. Unfortuntately, I didn't get to see everyone because I was with Dr. Andersen during their visit, but I hear Savannah made quite an impression! :)

This weekend, Savannah got to see her Grandma Judy & Grandpa Rod (Michael's parents) again, as well as meeting for the first time her Uncle David, Auntie Melissa, and her cousin, Ollie. Ollie wasn't quite sure what to think of Savannah ... and Savannah was so busy eating & napping that she didn't get a real good look at Ollie yet. We're hoping for some more interaction today! It's so good to have Michael's family here with us.

I'll post some pictures of our family visits soon.
