Tom and I were sitting on the couch last night, and he was saying how strange it was that Jemma wasn't in our lives 3 weeks ago. It is crazy how quickly babies just become part of the family and you feel like they have always been with you! It seems like she has been here forever, although it's only been 2 weeks and 1 day. Amazing, huh? I think it also seems longer because she is a big baby, and it's easy to think of her as older as she is. Many babies are just hitting 8 lbs at 1 month and Jemma is probably up to 9 lbs already. She is also beginning to develop her head control, and can hold her head up by herself for about 5 seconds. She can pick her head up and turn to the other side, and her eyes are starting to focus and she tracks objects for short distances. I'm so proud :) Being a PT, I of course am watching for every little motor milestone I can. It's amazing to me how the body learns and develops on its own.
Anywho, I got off on a bit of a tangent. We are doing well at home. Tom returned to work on Monday, and he seems to be doing okay...tired, but okay. I am getting up with Jemma during the nights, but apparently she makes a lot of noise in her sleep, and it is keeping Tom awake. I am so tired I sleep right through it :) She's actually doing really good at sleeping in between feedings, and she continues to be this amazingly content little person.
I am healing up as well, and hopefully only have 2 more doctors visits in my future. I went Tuesday and my doctors were pleased that I had started to heal and everything was looking good. I have to go back Friday for another check, and then at least one time next week, maybe more depending on how things look. Although it is a pain to go to the doctor so often, it does at least get me out of the house and I know I am being well cared for.
My plan is to try to update the blog at least weekly, but we'll see how it goes. Until next time!
