4 Weeks Already!?

As of Friday, Elena is 4 weeks old. She has had a very busy first 4 weeks of life. 2 weeks in the hospital. Christmas with both sides of the family. Ringing in a new year. And sadly, her first cold (RSV without the bronchiolitis).

With so much going on, it has been a bit difficult for her to settle into a schedule. But slowly, as she begins to get over her cold and all the holiday activities draw to an end, we begin to get acclimated to our life together.

Ray is back at work, so Elena and I currently spend our days together. Last week, Aunts Suz and Rae came over two days to help mom and get to know Elena a bit better. It was much appreciated and they really worked their magic with her. She will sleep in her bouncer or even her crib occasionally now!!

Monday brings a visit to Ann Arbor to check in with the surgeon. Hopefully our last trip! I will return to work on January 22nd, so the schedule this Tuesday will include a visit to daycare, just to check things out one last time. Friday will hopefully include a visit from Grandma R.

As things continue to settle down, I'll keep you all updated. Sorry it was so long between posts this time, but I've been busy, as you can imagine!!!
