Five Weeks...Already!

Hesedah's first Sunday at church

It's hard to believe that five weeks have gone by already since we first brought little Hesedah home.  She has grown so much during this time and it has been such a joy for us to see all those changes.  She is a wonderful little girl who likes to sleep, eat, and sleep some more.  She's a fairly easy baby to take care of.  She only seems to cry when there is something really bothering her (diaper, hungry, etc.)  She sleeps well through the night.  Most nights she is out for six hours, but she has had a few eight-hour nights, too.  At her last appointment, she weighed in at 8 pounds 6 ounces and that was two weeks ago already.  This means she has already gained two pounds since birth.  Her next appointment is at two months and she will receive her vaccinations at that time.  My favorite thing about Hesedah at this age is when I wake her up in the morning for her breakfast.  She stretches her arms over her head, blinks her eyes a few times, and gets a little smile on her face as if to say, "Good morning, daddy!"  She is a precious little girl and has been a huge blessing in our life.  God is good!
