Sleepy Saturday... for some.

So, Abby turned one week old yesterday... amazing how that happens 7 days after babies are born! Abby is doing well, sleeping a lot today... pretty much sleeping or eating... I mention it only because yesterday was different, the first day that we got a lot of awake time (relatively speaking). She seems to be doing well. Her first doctor's visit was fine, not up to birth weight, but she did drop 9.5% in the hospital, so she had a little ways to go. She is doing fine except for a fussy time in the late evening to early morning hours; not unexpected though. She is continuing her trend of outings everyday... and sleeping through most of them.

Yesterday was a big day because Sara and Abby's other Grandma arrived, so there are now two grandmother's in the house. Lots of excitement around the house for that you can be sure. Grandma H. is going home Sunday morning... we're not sure what we would have done without her taking care of the three and then four of us the last 10 days. We will certainly miss her.

Sara is doing well, active and excited, spending lots of time with her Grandmas. Just this afternoon they had a group cookie making activity and played several games of Uno while the cookies were baking. That clearly was a fun time for everyone. Sara also had another swimming lesson this morning which went well except for us again having to get her out about 10 minutes early due to excessively blue lips. She really doesn't like cold water, but she loves to go swimming. Today we focused a lot on jumping into the pool which she did fabulously at, much more independently deciding when to jump, and with gusto.

Well, there are some pics below....
