Five weeks old today

Raegan is five weeks old today! I can't believe it.....honestly it feels like one long day with lots of little naps. I wonder when I will ever get 8 hours of sleep again...

We are all doing pretty well. Raegan has her moments, but mostly she is a good baby. She is sleeping two 4 hours blocks of time at night, which is great. She is having some difficulty sleeping for more than an hour at a time (or less) during the day unless she is being held or sleeping on me. Today we took a nap together, with her laying on top of me. I probably could have tried to put her down in her bed, but it was too precious. :)

I'm so glad that I have a lot more time off of work. I can't imagine how Mom's go back to work after 6 weeks...there is no way I would be able to even function at work right now.

We are starting to get Raegan out of the house more often. Everyday we get out of the house to at least run one errand or go for a walk. We have a sling and a front carrier, both of which Raegan currently hates! She screams every time I put her in one of them....so I'm putting her in them everyday for a little bit of time to get her used to them! It would be so much easier than lugging around her car seat carrier, which is VERY heavy with her in it.

Jay weighed her just two days ago....already 11.1 pounds! She is a growing girl :) She has definitely gotten longer...I will have to measure her to see how much she has grown. She doesn't fit this direction on the couch anymore, her feet hang off the edge! I bet she's going to be tall like Lindsey and Ben! :)

We booked our Illinois flights and are so excited for Raegan to meet the rest of the Trutter clan soon!!
