I’m joining the blogging community

I guess enough time has passed, and I can now join the blogging community. Maybe this can take the place of my very unused journal.

So today Rachel is six weeks old. She is such a little sweetie. Her first few weeks were spent sleeping all day and partying all night. This past week, however, she is starting to really catch on to the whole purpose of the darkness, and that is to sleep. So Mommy is getting a little more sleep too. That is not a bad thing.

At birth: In the pink corner, wearing a lot of pink, Rachel weighs in at 9 lbs 12.7 oz.
At 1 month: Still in the pink corner, wearing pink still, but with the occasional yellow sleeper, Rachel weighs in at 11 lbs 8 oz.

I haven’t weighed her since then, but I’m pretty sure she is growing. We are now starting to put her in 3-6 month outfits.

By the way, she is really cute.

I’m really excited, because last night I got a phone call from two of my sisters, Ladawn and Faline, and they surprised me by telling me they are coming for a visit next weekend. Yeah! Sure, now they come, now that Rachel is sleeping at night better. Where was everyone the first few weeks when she was up from 2:30 to 7:00 a.m.? (I’m just kidding. I’m really glad they are coming!)
