Three Weeks Old







And still cute!! So let me tell you a little more about our little Norah. She loves to eat! I think she would nurse all day long if I let her. She gained a pound in five days. She's an OK sleeper (could be better, could be worse is how I think of it). I put her down around 8pm, nurse her once before I go to bed, and then she wakes up two times before 6:30. We're still trying to convince her that it would make her feel REALLY good if she decided to sleep through the night. Joe has nicknamed her "grunts" because she grunts a lot, especially when she has to burp, and it's really cute. She is very strong and holds her head up like a pro. We are excited to watch her grow and get to know her better!

I'm feeling good and pretty much all healed up. Now I just have to work on getting back into shape! Luckily Norah has literally sucked the fat out of me, I'm only five pounds over my pre-pregnancy weight. Joe is doing well too. For the past couple of months we've been stressing out about finding a job. Now I realize what a blessing it has been to have Joe home during these first few weeks with Norah. I think I'm finally ok with him leaving and today he has had two job offers so far! Just another example of how the Lord is more aware of our needs than we are.

I LIKE YOUR PERSPECTIVE ON JOE'S JOB SITUATION, WE ARE PRAYING YOU. I REMEMBER FEELING LIKE ALL I DID WAS NURSE. BUT IT BURNS SO MANY CALORIES, THINK OF IT LIKE WORKING OUT WINK WINK! IT WILL BE THE EASIEST WORK OUT EVER AND WITH THE CUTEST TRAINER. HAHAHA
