Well, I've now started a bed time routine with Wren. We get a half an hour, alone, upstairs, to unwind together! It was so nice having some serious bonding time with her. I remember how much time I spent alone with Jude as an infant... they were some special times! I don't want to miss those moments with Wren, just because she is the second child. Glad I have a loyal hubby to help me get these once-in-a-lifetime moments!
As we were sitting there, staring at one another, I was noticing more how much she looks like me! It's surreal to see someone look like you, the person that has looked back at me in the mirror for 25 years! I think I can see the resemblance more than anyone, because I know that face far too well! :) Her, once, slightly cone shaped head, is now protruding out slightly to form a rounded forehead like mine, compared to the flat foreheads of her Daddy and brother! She gets the great pleasure of carrying around my little birthmark between the eyes. Her eyes are shaped just like mine, and I'm 99% sure her eyes will not be changing from blue to brown like her brothers... I think those baby blues are here to stay! :D I'm not for sure, but I think her nose may look more like mine... and her lips... I don't think it matters whose she has, because both Daddy and I have pretty lips, and hers are VERY PRETTY! ;) She has such a sweet, round, face, and her cheeks and body are getting chubbier and chubbier by the day! I just want to eat her up!!! <3
After getting lotioned up, swaddled, and talking to one another for 20 minutes or so, she was ready to pass out, so I nursed her one last time, and she was out like a light! Last night she slept from 8pm to 4:45 this morning! Almost 9 HOURS!! I was so excited when she woke up and I looked over at the clock, expecting to see the usual 1:30 or 2am! She nursed till she was full (then I had to pump the extra 4 oz) and we were back to bed around 5:30am! I was up at 7am, thanks to Jude, so I let her sleep till I got Jude breakfast, and then I went upstairs to bring her down with us, which of course woke her up. I am crossing my fingers that we get another awesome night just like that, tonight!!! Wish me luck!
