We are all settling into something that resembles a familiar routine. Both Gia and Amy have gotten very good at nursing so the only extra help they need is for burping and changing during the feedings and of course company. Nancy does the diaper changes during the day and Drew at night. You will probably notice that Gia is lot rounder than she used to be thanks to her great feeding. Nancy keeps Gia company at the beginning of the evening (9:00-11) and then again in the morning (6-9) to help Amy and Drew get some sleep. We had a particularly nice night yesterday where Gia, Amy and Drew all sleep for 4 hours straight! We really hope it will become a habit. We are still working out how we all sleep together. Our original plan was for Gia to sleep in a co-sleeper next to our bed but she is rarely happy sleeping unless she is being held or right next to one of us. As a result, Amy and Drew take turns sleeping with her. For those out there that might worry about her safety, rest assured we are doing everything we need to to keep her safe while sharing our bed. Although it is definitely harder to sleep when she is with us, it is also incredibly sweet to feel her body next to ours.
We had a photo shoot on Monday with the fantastic photographer who did our wedding and pregnancy pictures (Rikka Zimmerman). The shoot went surprisingly well with Gia very content the whole time. There was, however, one incident. Rikka suggested we take a number of pictures where Gia was naked (including no diaper) and Drew was holding her. Drew knew the risks and dressed appropriately. Sure enough, a few minutes in Drew’s arm was drenched with pee. He never flinched but instead looked down at his daughter and said, “You see sweetheart, you can even pee on me and Daddy will still hold you safe and sound.” We will get the pictures back in about 2 weeks and will post the highlights.
Love,
Amy & Drew
