Lennie is 3 weeks old today. Honestly it already feels like she has been with us for so long. It could not have only been 3 weeks? Can I say something? It is going to come off a bit boastful.... Lennie is a perfect dream baby.
Honestly I have been waiting with baited breathe for this little darling to say "Just kidding" and reveal her real self but after 3 weeks I am thinking that this is her little nature. What am I talking about? How about the fact that she sleeps in 4 hour stretches, or the fact that at night she is already pulling 6 -7 hour stretches and only waking once. During the day she is awake and active and gorgeous but goes down no problem and then at night after she is feed and changed I can lay her back down and she will put herself back to sleep! No joke. She can be wide awake, I will say to her "Well I have feed you and changed you if you cry I will wake up to see whats wrong but I am tired so I am going back to sleep!' and then I do. She just goes back down by herself - at 3 weeks old.
She nurses great although I think my let down is a bit to fast for her so I have taken to nursing her while she sits up and that seems to help. I can't brag enough about the awesomeness that are midwives. Of course finding the right midwife is so important but I have been blessed with two wonderful midwives who have made my whole birthing and post birth experience such a good experience.
All of the kids are handling their new sibling well. I haven't seen to much jealously but I have tried extra hard to make sure I have shared myself around and do things with each of them. So far only Rawiri is jealous that she gets to sleep in our room and tries to come in during the night. Hinalei absolutely adores her little sister and loves to hold her and sing to her.
Well I hope this post hasn't jinxed anything but just wanted to remember how wonderful she is.
