Emma is now 4 1/2 weeks old. I doesn't seem possible that it has been 4 1/2 weeks since she came into this world. This week was also Emma's original due date of Sept 12th! She was exactly 4 weeks early. I can't imagine being pregnant up until this week and miserable probably wouldn't come close to describe how I would be feeling.
I love watching her as she grows and develops her little personality. We already see some stubbornness shining through and I have no idea where she would have possibly gotten that from!! (wink, wink!) She is starting to focus a little better and is smiling in her sleep but not while she is awake yet. She is SO dramatic with her little hands and Mark thinks the cutest thing she does is when she sneezes and then makes a little whimper/sigh at the end....almost as if saying "Oh goodness, that was traumatic!". She is waking up about every 3 to 4 hours at night to eat and goes right back to sleep. Some nights...like the last 3...she has cried for much of the night. I think she is having tummy trouble so if it goes much longer, we will be going to the doctor I suppose. I don't want to be one of those "over obsessed" mothers but I don't want her uncomfortable or hurting either. She is definitely gaining weight and was at 6 lb 2 ounces last Wednesday! She is just a joy to have and Mark and I cannot get over how incredibly proud we are of her!
