Samantha

Samantha is 3 weeks and 4 days old now and getting so big. When I took her into the doctors last week she weighed 9 pounds 4 ounces. She has a spot on her head where her hair won't lay flat just like Alan and Luke. Her hair was a mix between dark brown and Blondie when she was born and now its all turning Blondie. She is nursing so well now and makes the cutest faces when she does, obviously no one else is going to see those. She has a icky eye like Luke did, hopefully hers will go away by it's self. She has an adorable smile and laugh and I am convinced that the smile is not always because of gas, the laugh, I'm not sure. She has thrown up and spit up in the tiny amount of time she has been here then Luke ever did. She is a very noisy sleeper, she makes little grunting noises through out the night.

I actually had a sleeping success with her today. She was awake for a while after her morning feeding because of tummy problems, I could tell she was tired and she would doze off for a minute and then would wake up, usually she would want to nurse which would cause more tummy problems, so I put her in the crib while her eyes were still wide open and she fell a sleep on her own, Yay! Luke never did that, Alan would always have to pat his back to get him to sleep or I would nurse him. Maybe I'll actually have a good sleeper.

Wow, I am so glad that she is turning out to be such a good sleeper, and hopefully she will only get better. I am sorry to hear that she still is having some tummy problems :(

She is so beautiful! What an angel. She is always asleep when you come over so it is wonderful to see her awake and "talking"!
