sunny days ahead...

I know I've said this a million times, but it is hard to believe it's already been 6 weeks since this precious little girl came into our lives.  Here are a couple of updates through pictures.  Adilyn has been getting bigger and stronger every day.  She has officially outgrown her preemie onesies - but her newborn clothes are still a tad long for her.  That's ok, she'll grow into them before we know it I'm sure.  Also, we've graduated from her preemie diapers to newborn size - though those are still big on her too.  I know I shouldn't be so surprised at how quickly she's growing, but I remember holding that tiny 3lb 11oz baby and thinking she'd never get bigger...

Auntie Laura thought it was funny that Adi looks like this beanie baby...

She's taking up a LITTLE more of the bed than she did before.


Adilyn has been sleeping longer at night - we usually get a 5 hour stretch between some of the late night feedings, which has been great for me.  The feeding frequency just kind of transfers to the day though, so I'm feeding her around every 2 hours during the day.  It gets to be tiring, but somehow God has given me strength to continue to nourish her as much as she needs. 

We're so thankful for how flexible little Ms. Adilyn is - we've been able to take her to friends' houses, a wedding shower at a restaurant and on multiple errands now.  We're getting to be pretty proficient at loading/unloading her - but I will be thankful when I can take her around in her stroller (we discovered our stroller doesn't fit in our trunk without taking it apart) :(
I was getting excited for warmer weather and am hoping this snow starts to melt now that I'm approved to start exercising again. Hoping for sunshine.
