Yes, all of you mothers were right...things are soooooo much better now. My mental capacity is still diminished, and I have never been more forgetful or clumsy, but I am getting more sleep and that makes me really happy.
Anabella is doing wonderfully. The doctor said she is "one of the strongest babies" she has ever seen, and Dan proudly told her that Anabella "works out" every day. (Head slap goes here!) I am constantly reminding him that she is a little girl and not a Marine in boot camp. :)
She is a very, very happy baby and finds joy in all the simple things. (Burps, farts and sneezes are all VERY amusing...so I know she is for sure Dan's baby! HA.) She is sitting up, with a little assistance, and rolls, rolls, rolls all the time (right off the couch one day, so I definitely lost my "Mother of 2005" award). It is so fun to watch her develop!
Other things I find fascinating about Anabella:
- She holds her pinky finger in the air when she takes a bottle and when she nurses...she has also started to cross her legs at the ankles. Such a little lady!
- She loves Ellen Degeneres (she coos, smiles and giggles whenever we watch her show)!
- 99% of the time, when you smile at her, she totally lights up and smiles right back.
In case you are still counting...
- Pounds to pre-pregnancy weight: 5.5
- Number of items bought after watching infomercials: 4 (ask me about the Paint Buddy or my new Magic Bullet!)
