Bailee: 6 Weeks Old

Here is Bailee who is now 6 weeks old. She is an absolute joy in our family and she brings so much happiness to each one of us. She is definately 'chubbing' up and weighs over 8lbs now. She LOVES to eat, which is currently every 2 hours. The last few nights we have implemented a plan. I stay up till Bailee's midnight feeding while Marc goes to bed at 10pm. After the midnight feeding Bailee and I go to bed. At the moment she has a tendency to grunt and wake up when I lay her down so I often end up sleeping while holding her. At her 4pm feeding Marc gets up with Bailee and gives her a bottle. He stays up holding her till about 7pm. So I get uninterrupted sleep from about 3pm to 7pm. I feel like a new person these past few days. I have such a great husband.

And last week when Marc went out of town for 6 days my mom came up on day 3 to help me. Thank Heavens! She was such a great help with all of the children but especially with Bailee. It was so nice to have her help. She was wonderful! We had a good time getting ready for the yard sale and she was so attentive to Bailee while I did the sale. Thanks Mom!

I can't believe she is 6 weeks. She is still little, but you can tell she is loosing the newborn look. You have to love mom's they are the best. Always help when needed and fun to be around.

Mom's are the greatest! Bailee has such big eyes, it's fun to see her personality already.

Desmond pulled an all nighter last night, and it nearly killed me! I totally sympathize. Good thing for husbands, (and moms), eh? kelli
