The Pawlak Post: Settling In...

Mom's first post! Annie turns two weeks old tomorrow, and it feels like we're starting to settle in as a family of three. It's been great to have Dan home on and off over the past two weeks. He's been phasing back into work slowly, giving us lots of family time lately which we've all cherished. Annie's holding her own quite well, and showing us glimpses of her personality here and there as we get to know her better. As of last Thursday (8 days old), she'd gotten back up to her birthweight and her jaundice was clearing nicely. (The nurse called her an "overachiever"... ) We can still see glimpses of yellow in her forehead when she scrunches up her face, but it's nowhere near as noticeable as it was earlier on. She had her first Sunday at church this week, and was excited to meet many of the people who've been praying for her over the past 9-10 months. She's nursing like a champ, and sleeping for 2-3 hour stretches at night, give or take. We're giving cloth diapers a go and, as of the past few days, it's been going pretty well. No major explosions yet, but it's probably just a matter of time before we have a post about that :) Enjoy a few pictures of our sweet little peanut...
