Ahh...the moment I've been waiting for. Nora's first smile! She lit up yesterday morning with some beautiful grins. It was after her first night of (pretty) sound sleep in over a week, so I'm guessing she had plenty to smile about
I did, too: We had finally turned that dreaded six-week corner! The sixth week was a rough one, as it is with most newborns...this is when fussiness reaches its peak due to growth and developmental spurts. Our usually placid Nora turned into a bit of a fuss-bot and she also refused to sleep! We went through seven consecutive nights of staying up ALL night 'til 5:30 a.m., 4:30 a.m., 3:30 a.m., 2:30 a.m., 1:30 a.m., 12:30 a.m. and finally (blissfully) 11:30 p.m. For the past two nights, she has gotten in solid 4-5 hour chunks of sleep at night and wakes with a few quiet grunts (no screams!) to eat before peacefuly going back to sleep without a fight.
Ahhhhh.
