2 weeks old!


Today is Presley's two week birthday. I can hardly believe it. Coupled with the fact that mommy has lost nearly all of her baby weight, it doesn't seem real.

We celebrated today with a visit from Presley's Great-Grandmother and her Great Uncle who drove in from Welsh, Louisiana. She slept through most of the visit (but everyone got to hold her) and only got fussy when she was hungry towards the end.

Then, a surprise visitor came around 6pm. Mommy's friend, Mea, who will be in France until December stopped by to hold Presley for an hour and visit.

Tomorrow, Presley's other Great-Grandmother is coming to visit with her Great Aunt and then we have to pick Uncle Roth up from the airport.

We're going to try and see how Presley does in her ring sling tomorrow, also. She seemed to love being her Moby with Daddy but has not appriciated such activities with Mommy.

Presley also had a bath today and it went off without a hitch! She didn't cry once and Gramdre (we're still working on "cool" grandmother names) managed to slather her in baby lotion. I also think her cord stump may come off soon as I found a bit of blood on her diaper and onesie and rushed to my "What To Expect: The First Year" to make sure I didn't need to call Dr. Hales. Thank goodness, it's only a sign that the cord may be falling off soon. Very exciting, we'll be able to start REAL baths then. I hope Presley finds as much comfort in them as I do. She sure didn't like them too hot when she was just a lil belly bub.

Hopefully, everything tomorrow will go smoothly. Generally, Presley's timing is impeccable.
