So neat and tidy
Holly and I enjoy watching Jenna grow and learn so much. Sometimes she does things that are just too cute not to share.
This morning, she was crawling around the house playing with toys. She had a "binky" in her mouth. She was being so content that we let her be. After a few minutes Holly comes around the kitchen island to find that Jenna had found another binky, decided she didn't want the one in her mouth and put them both away so they wouldn't get dirty.

Six Weeks Part Deux
She's here. She was six weeks old yesterday and just like I thought, our lives have changed. I didn't realize just how much our lives would change, however. I thought a lack of sleep would be workable but this is beyond a lack. I've already forgotten what sleeping through the night feels like.
Of course, I'm not complaining by any means. She is a gorgeous little girl and, for all intents and purposes, a good little girl. In the last week or so she's been a little upset but you'd be upset too if you had tummy aches. We're not exactly sure what is causing it but we are working through it.
I'm off to work for now. Holly and Jenna are still sound asleep so everyone be quiet. :)
Baby Significant Times
Little Jenna Rylee Van Lew is here! She is absolutely the cutest thing I have ever seen. I am, of course, a little biased but seriously, she's cute. I kept a little timeline of key events leading up to the birth of little Jenna and when they happened. After Jenna was born, we both tried to sleep, hence very little activity. :o)

Due Dates
So apparently there is no way to contact baby in the womb. Someone could have told us about this earlier. We've been trying to come up with a clever way to let baby know that her due date is fast approaching and there are a lot of people eager to meet her, ourselves included.
Now, her due date isn't until Wednesday (March 4th) but we don't want her to be late on her first assignment. So to anyone reading this, if you know of a toll free number we can call to get a hold of baby, please let us know. We'd love to speak with her and let her know the importance of being on time. :)
6 weeks…
In six weeks, our world will become completely different. I can't wait.
In six weeks, our lives will change forever. I can't wait.
