Sleeping Beauty...

Well, I was going to write up a nice little post, and then add more pictures. But then it took forever just to download the pictures, and now it's late, and I don't want to write much anymore. Anyway, Sophia is the best little baby and we just love her so much. She's given us very little trouble so far, and she hardly ever cries. Actually, she hardly does anything because she sleeps so much. My only worries so far have just been getting her to eat every 2-3 hours and to eat long enough, and getting her to wake up for that. But, since she's regained her birth weight already, I guess we're doing ok. Everything has been pretty peachy so far. It's great. Of course, with every little cough, or choke I keep thinking something is wrong with our little girl, but I guess some paranoia just can't be avoided.



Oh, here are also some of the things Sophia and I got to experience together:

• On Tuesday I took Sophia to enrichment, battled to breast feed her discretly, and then later on had my milk leak through my shirt without me noticing until it was too late. Thank goodness it was Relief Society!
• On Wednesday we went to our book club together, except it was more like a baby club. It was me and my 3 friends from the ward, who all had a baby in the last few weeks...I was glad this time that I didn't have to nurse my little one
• On Thursday Sophia got a frenotomy, meaning she got her frenulum clipped because she's tongue tied. Our pediatrician said she was just a little tongue tied, but I felt she was struggling a little with her tongue and got a referral to the ENT. I'm glad I did. When we went, the ENT said that her tongue tie was actually pretty significant, and so she got clipped. Sophia did great, and hardly made a sound, but I was in tears! My poor baby.
• On Friday, we went downtown to hear Barack Obama speak. It was an interesting experience, and fun to be there. We also liked what he said, and Sophia was being really cooperative, especially with me having to nurse her and not having a good place to do so.
• On Friday night, we also went to a BBQ at one of Henry's professor's house. It was nice to meet some of Henry's graduate student buddies, as well as his professors. Once again, Sophia was a trooper.
• Today we tried to take it easy. Sophia slept almost all day. We did go to a birthday party tonight, and she was again great.
• We have one more party to go to tomorrow, and then I think I'll take a break.

We love you Sophia!

Well, here are more pictures.

P.S. In the last picture Sophia is actually awake, and playing with her neighbor Avery. Avery was born 19 days before Sophia, and her parents and us are good friends. Hopefully those two will be friends as well.
