Rub-a-Dub-Dub

Here Isha is after her bath in her little yellow duckie robe. Isha loves bath time, which is a good thing because her long black locks need frequent washing. Isha also likes to pee in her little baby bath tub. This robe was a gift from the Best family. They sent Isha a whole box of goodies. Heather Best is one of my closest friends. We have known each other since elementary school. I can't wait for Heather and Isha to meet. I am also excited to meet Heather's second little girl that is due in April. Heather has been a great source of advice and strength throughout my pregnancy and these early weeks of Isha's life.

Isha's one month check up

Isha had her one month check up on the 9th of Feb. She is now 20 inches long and 9 pounds and 6 1/2 ounces. The doctor said she is healthy. That is always good news. We were both nervous when he took us into his office. My stomach sank and I thought he was going to tell us something horrible. All he did was show us the growth chart and give us a chance to ask questions. Okay... so I'm a little paranoid. It is amazing how much we love this little girl and how easy it is to bond with her.

She is smiling a lot, which everyone says is just gas, but it is still really cute. She has also decided that she would like to spend more awake hours at night. So we have had some long and sleepless nights but we are hoping this is a short lived phase. Luckily our friends are still bringing food, which has given mom a chance to nap instead of cook. Thank you so much!!! The other life saver is this swing, thank you Monica and Adri, and the bouncy seat! I don't know what moms did before these things were invented.
