Getting to know her...

It's hard to believe that on Monday, Anna will be 4 weeks old! Our first week was awesome, the 2nd and 3rd week were a little tough because I wasn't feeling great, but now I'm feeling much better and this week has been great too! It's been wonderful to settle in at home, watch Madelyn love on her baby sister and get to know Anna!

So far, (and knock on wood!!) Anna is an angel! She's eating well, sleeping well and growing like a weed. We go back to the doctor on Monday and I'm curious to hear about her growth. After just two weeks, she'd gained almost 2 lbs since we left the hospital (she lost over a pound before we were discharged) and she grew 1.5 inches! She only had a chance to wear newborn clothes in her first few days, and then it was right into 3 month outfits. She's even wearing some things that Madelyn wore when she was 3 months! It's so neat how they fill out quickly at the beginning. With her, it seems to have happened even faster than with Madelyn. Suddenly, her hands and feet are chunkier and she has another little roll on her thigh - love, love, love!

Anna is very mellow, observant and happy.  She seems pretty easy going and only really fuses if she's hungry or cold.  As long as she's fed and warm, she's content! That's my girl :) From the her first few moments, she had her eyes wide open.  When she's not snoozing away, she just hangs out and is fixated on things around her. Over the last few days she's started smiling regularly and her smiles make my heart melt. EVERYONE says she looks much like Brian and she does, but especially when she smiles, shes got the same dimples already!

I've been much better about taking pictures with my phone, than the camera these days, so here are photos of (mostly) Anna...
