Wren will be 4 weeks old tomorrow! Even though I feel like we have had her awhile.... a month seems too long. So far, she is an excellent baby! She is a good eater... even though I'm still forced to pump occasionally. I make around 4 or 5 extra ounces a day, which is nice to have for a sitter. Wren has to be the most alert newborn I've ever seen (and I've seen A LOT of newborns)! She will stay awake for 3 or 4 hours at a time. When she is awake, she enjoys being held so that she can look at your face... she is very interested in what we are doing. We are prepared for her to be the opposite of her brother, who is a bit reserved and quiet. She is already trying really hard to roll over!! As if that wasn't impressive enough, she is also sleeping through the night!!! Last night she fussed just slightly, which woke me up. I then realized I needed her to nurse. I got her to latch, but not sure how much she really ate, if anything. Jude wakes me up in the morning... not our newborn daughter, how crazy is that!?! Jude woke up at 7:30 this morning. Wren was still asleep, so I was able to get Jude up and changed, before returning to get Wren!
What a joy you have been, my sweet baby Wren! I love you so much, and look forward to watching you grow every day! You are perfect so far, let's keep it that way, okay?! ;)
Side note: With all the excitement of Wren, I totally forgot to congratulate my hubby on surprising me with a very special gift! While in the hospital, Bryan would take Jude home at night, then return in the morning. So, while the nurse was checking Wren's vitals in the morning... in walks my boys! I may have been a little distracted by my baby boy, but I still have no idea how he did it! As the nurse was finishing up with Wren, she swaddled her back up and handed her to Bryan. He then laid her down in front of me. It took me only about a minute before I unswaddled Wren to make sure her diaper was on her comfortably (I'm kind of anal about securing diapers just so!) As I unswaddled her I saw this little cardboard box. I took it out in disgust, at first thinking the nurse left it in there, but then I saw "Pandora" across the box! I was in shock because it's not often that Bryan is able to get things by me like that... and he isn't the most creative, so I was thoroughly impressed!!! :) He got me Wren's birthstone charm for my Pandora bracelet that he bought me for mother's day!! I now have a "mom" bead, Jude's birthstone, and Wren's birthstone! I can't wait for more holidays, because I will be so happy with more beads for my bracelet!!!
I love you, Bryan!!!
