Six weeks!

Its been six weeks with Amelia. It feels like its still November to me, because the past several weeks are a blur. Here are the highs and lows on the mamahood front as of late:

1. High: Amelia is now smiling and interacts with us much more frequently. When we wake up together in the morning, she smiles as soon as she sees me.
2. Low: the new mom hairdo that I have. I wanted an easy, no fuss cut. I ended up with a virtual helmet of hair.
3. High: Amelia likes her swing and happily stays in there, on occasion, when mama needs to use the bathroom or even take a bath.
4. Low: Still exhausted.
5. High: Amelia slept 4 hours last night! Woo-hoo!!
6. Low: The baby acne that is covering her face, scalp and even neck. She isn't very pretty these days, but it doesn't seem to be bothering her.
7. High: We had a lactation consultation today and I have more information that will help me better feed her.
8. Low: Amelia still has a cold, or at least a stuffy nose that probably bothers me more than her.
9. High: Phoebe, the cat, likes to sniff and kiss Amelia's head, and sometimes rub her scent on her. Amelia noticed Phoebe for the first time this week.
10. Low: Did I mention that I'm exhausted?
