Three weeks already!

I can hardly believe that three weeks have past since Lillian was born. My how time does fly. You'd figure that with being at home the last three weeks I would have found time to clean my house... yeah right. This kid is really a 24 hour a day gig. Life in the VonBargen house has forever changed. I'll just have to get over it and deal with it being messy.

All in all, things are still going well. Lilly continues to be a sweet little girl. Great to cuddle with and only has a few meltdowns. Maybe she is saving the really dramatic meltdowns for when we're shopping and I won't buy her what she wants. She is already changing and learning. Something new everyday. So far she realized that her entire hand will not fit in her mouth and that there is a mobile above her swing.

We are all getting a little antsy being cooped up in the house. I can't wait for warm weather! I'm still a little nervous taking her out on errands, so we tend to run them in shifts. We just don't have the feeding and napping on a schedule and it's no fun going through a store with a screaming baby.

We have, however made a few outings to family get togethers. Lillian met her Great Grandma Jan (Jereme's mom's mom) last week, which was really precious. Gma Jan has Parkinson's and is pretty limited in what she can do... so when she held Lilly and spoke her name clearly it put a smile on all of our faces. She's a very proud Gma! Hopefully we'll make it to St. Cloud in the next week or so to meet some more Great Grandparents! Everytime we leave the house I feel like I am packing for a week.

That's all for this week. Stay tuned for more about what I learned as a parent next week.
