Big News!

We have a lot of news to share...first of all our lil lady is now an 11 pounder who sleeps through the night!!! YAY!!! I think we have grandma and grandpa Henjum to thank for that. They babysat Linnea on Friday night while Chris and I went to see Watchmen with Chuck and his new girlfriend. We came home around 10:30 and she was sound asleep in her crib...I woke up around 3, she was still sound asleep. I proceeded to wake up again around 5 as this used to be our schedule...the baby was still sleeping and continued to sleep until about 8am!!! She has kept this up through today so that is 5 full nights of sleep in a row. We feel like new parents! Good girl!! Since she is 11lbs now we have put aside all of the newborn clothes to loan to one of Linnea's friends and some of the 0-3 months. We have noticed the 3-6 months are fitting the best. I am quite proud of this picture above...I did a little photo shoot with Linnea on our poppason chair this morning and I think it turned out very nice! We hope to get some professional 3 months pictures taken. I can't believe she is already almost 3 months and I have to go back to work on March 23rd...thats a like in a week and a half! Where does the time go?

So all of the above news is great...but we did a have a rough few days before the sleeping thru the night occured. As I wrote in a previous post Linnea needed to see an eye doctor because our dr thought her pupils were different sized. So we went to the eye doctor a week ago and it was VERY traumatic! She was not herself until Friday around 5, thank goodness because that is when she was getting babysat. Anyways...we were at the doctor for about 2 and a half hours. She had to get the drops that we get to dialate our eyes so she cried a bit with the sting of that, then we had to wait 30 minutes before getting seen again. When we were seen again the eye doctor had to pry her eyes open to shine the light in to make sure everything was fine. I had to hold her arms down while he was doing this and listen to her scream. It was terrible! And on top of all of that she of course was hungry! The good news is everything was fine and she shouldnt need to be seen again until kindergarten. We headed to a friends house afterwards to meet her newborn and eat!

Here she is sound asleep. She had a hard time falling asleep Thursday...in fact we gave in and let her sleep in her swing all night. We think she had a bit of acid refulx and colic that night because she wouldnt stop crying and she would really SCREAM when laid on her back. but we got through it and she has been back to normal ever since Friday, so that is good.

Chris and I are noticing that we dont have many pictures of just Linnea and us together or just one of us so we are trying to take more of those! Here are two cute ones!
