One month old

Yesterday marked Claire's one month birthday. The time has flown by. In my humble unbiased opinion, she is such a beautiful baby and growing more so each day. It's exciting to watch her develop. And what is almost as exciting, are her grandparents, as they ask to see Claire everyday via Skype. With all these events, my productivity at work has declined, the dogs are neglected (though they are getting a bath tonight - don't tell them) and the house is in a continuous state of disarray, but what an awesome ride it has been thus far.

Claire had a lot of visitors for her one month b-day. Nancy (co-worker) and Chad came by in the early afternoon. In the late afternoon Claire had her first non-doctor appointment trip, as the three of us went to Johana and Peter's (hockey team) for dinner. Late at night Nan (long time friend) from Baltimore came to visit. I think all of the excitement tired Claire.

Last night I slept very well, with the 4am feeding being my charge. I must admit I feel a little guilty, as I wonder whether Lynn slept well. She had the 1am and 8am feedings. Lynn went to work today at 11am and will be coming home at 7pm. I have had Claire all day. She ate very well today and had the nastiest, stinkiest, messiest diaper to date. Having to clean this diaper, I guess I don't feel as guilty anymore. I just finished the 6pm feeding, for which she slept through half of it - she can eat and sleep at the same time. She is currently sleeping, so I am going to do the dishes before mom gets home. Until the next posting...
