Blow-outs

Well I had my first not-so-successful shopping trip with Greta.  We went to Maurice's so I could get an outfit for the baptism - success.  Then a quick stop at Target for a few things - successful on the purchases but unsuccessful for Greta's outfits.  I went into the dressing room to try on a few things and nurse Greta.  And I discovered when I took her out of her car seat that she had had a blow-out.  No problem - I'll just change her and we'll be good.  So I clean her all up.  Put on a clean outfit.  All better.  But wait... I walk out of the dressing room, and blow-out #2 happens.  Seriously? I only had one outfit along so off to the baby section to buy an outfit for her to ride home in. 

I check out and then go over to the customer service to ask if I can leave my cart and the lady behind the counter thought I was going to ask to leave my baby there.  Again, seriously?! 

But we made it home, all in one piece and clean.  Now the diaper bag has 2 outfits in it.

Norm is back in action

With spring comes lots of lawn mowing so Ryan gave Norm a little tune up before his first run.  Blade sharpened and a bold fixed (not really sure about this one).  But Ryan said he ran like a champ!

Family Visits

Greta has officially met everyone in the family and they all love her dearly.  Ryan and I are truly blessed with a great support system and I know we can count on them for anything.

A first for G and Me!

Greta and I took our first solo trip out today... and I'm happy to say it was a success.   We left home about 10:00 am and went to Babies R Us and then Meijer.  I even put jeans on for the occassion.  Go me!

3 weeks old

Time is flying... Greta is 3 weeks old already. 

Here's her top 10, 3 week summary

1) Smiles in her sleep a lot
2) Sleeps for at least 5 hours at a time at night - great for mommy
3) Has outgrown a couple of her newborn outfits
4) Holds her head up quite well and can move it side to side when laying on the floor
5) Lost her belly button (and then I lost it, but found it)
6) Took a big girl bath and didn't hate it
7) Love her activity mat
8) Has taken 2 walks around the house
9) Can hear her BMs from across the room
10) Is perfect in everyway

Church Bound

At just 15 days old, it was time for our first trip to church to get Greta accustomed to everything and maybe to show her off a little.  We made it on time... actually about 5 minutes early, which is better than we did some Sundays (pre-Greta).  Everyone loved her and thought she was a doll.  Best part... she also slept the whole service.   

2 weeks already

Where has the time gone?!? Greta is 2 weeks old today. And at her checkup yesterday the doctor said she was perfect. Gaining weight nicely as she was back up to 7 pounds 4 1/2 ounces.

Also feel very good about our pediatrician choice. Love her.
