Deep Breath ...

Well, Gwennan is two months old now (10 weeks and 4 days, to be exact) and amazingly she's still alive. It's weird how scared you are the first 4 weeks or so that the baby is just going to die. That she's not going to eat enough, that she's just going to stop breathing, that something is going to happen. Add post partum depression and sleep deprivation to the mix and it's just a really high anxiety time.

Both baby and mother are doing a ton better now though. Gwennan pretty much sleeps through the night, and I've been sleeping like a log at night. I don't feel that tired when I go to bed, but I sleep pretty solidly through the night - much more so than before or during the pregnancy.

Gwennan is so cute now. She has started cooing and gooing and she smiles and gives us a little laugh every now and then. When I learn how to post videos on here, I'll share some with you all.

At her two month check-up last week these were her stats:
weight: 12 lbs 9 oz (90th percentile)
height: 24 1/4 inches (97th percentile)
She's a BIG baby!

Catri is such a good sister to Gwennan. She babysat her for about 3 hours last week while I went to look at houses, and she did a great job! She even got her to nap without a problem! It does my heart so much good to see how Catri is with Gwennan. She plays with her, talks to her, holds her, changes her. It's so cool. She's an awesome big sister.

Anyway, we are in process of finding a new house. We're putting an offer in on one today. I'll let you know how it goes later in the week!

Ok, here's what you do. Go to http://www.youtube.com/ and sign up. Then go to upload. Browse for the file you want, say ok, and wait. In a minute or so you can watch your video. Then, you will see a link that says 'blog this'. You have to set up your blog address, but it's all pretty simple. After you post it, it will be on your blog within moments.
