Lily is 6 weeks, Mommy is happy

Lily is 6 weeks today and I am surprisingly not crying! Thank goodness my hormones have leveled out a bit. While the stories were funny to tell people, I was quite over crying at the drop of a hat. I had my 6 week appointment with my doctor and everything seems to be going well. I still have to get a sugar test again because of the gestational diabetes to make sure they went away, that should be sooo fun! haha.
Lily is doing great. Most night she is sleeping for 6+ hours at once followed by another shorter sleep after a bottle and diaper change. We took the co-sleeper we had in the bed with us (it velcros to the bed and sits in the middle of JF and I). She is back in her pack n play in our bedroom. Although the last two nights were a little tiresome from getting up to soothe her quickly when she woke up, we sleep better having our bed back. Once she starts sleeping longer we will put her in her crib. For now it is nice to not have to walk so far just to stick a pacifier back in her mouth and "shhh" her for a minute. She is up a little longer in between sleeps now also. We spend more time playing on her mat or talking to each other after she eats, before another nap. She laughs and smiles a lot. She has also been paying more attention to toys and focusing on stuff and "talking". It seems the "Wonder Weeks" app Branden told me to download was so right. It tells you different "leaps" (stages) your baby is going through based on their birth date and explains what to expect as far as the way she might act during her growth spurt. She isn't as cranky anymore (thank God) and although still wants to cuddle a lot, not quite as clingy during the day. She is sleeping in her swing right now as I type :)
I had several appointments this week and my mom (Nanna) got to come over and spend lots of time with her. They both loved the time together and it was a huge help to me!
I am getting so excited for Mother's day! Not only do we get to see all of our Florida local family (we really don't get out much anymore haha), we also get to see JF's parents and brother, Dan! We are all so excited to see them and I know they cannot wait to meet their new granddaughter! Julie is in the middle of finals, so she will come down during the summer.
I posted a few pics below of my Sugar Butt the past week or so. Have a great week!
