Giselle is Two Months Old!







I can't believe Giselle is two months old already. It's been a rollercoaster ride with the c-section, plugged milk duct, mastitis, allergic reaction to the antibiotic and now she's sick with her first cold and has given it to me, but it has gone by fast. She is wonderful and we're so thankful.

Also, I noticed today that she has a pattern (it's a pattern or routine more than a schedule), but she eats every 2-1/2 to three hours during the day then plays (awake time for about an hour or so) and then she naps, repeat. I went back to work when she was six weeks old and Jimmy has been watching her, but he doesn't notice these details and even if he did doesn't share too much of her day with me (mostly b/c he can't remember with running after the 4-year old and trying to get things done around the house).

1. eats
2. plays
3. sleeps

She's also found the ceiling fan mesmerizing and rolled over from her tummy to her back three times. Oh, and gives us the biggest smiles...and even laughed a couple of times! It's amazing watching her grow so fast. My heart has grown two sizes these past two months. Even Gabriel has taken to her like fish to water. He still calls her Gisellie or Gisellie Belly. I call her Gisellie Bean.

We enjoyed our visit from our friends Jack and Jeannine Beebe very much. We are now feeling like life can resume some normalcy and looking forward to catching up with friends and more family. Next stop....visit with my mom so she can hold her grand baby for the first time.
