So Big!

Allison is definitely growing like a weed!! In the last week, she has grown out of two sleepers so I knew she was getting bigger but had no idea how much. When we went to the doctor yesterday she had gained 11oz in one week! That's almost double the expected 1oz per day growth!! She has also spent the last few nights in her "big girl bed." Not that sleep is something that comes easily around a newborn, but her constant preemie grunts were keeping us from catching any shut eye. She has done pretty well (some of which I can attribute to the vibrating bouncer I put on the other end of the crib!) and it allows me to actually sleep in bed rather than the recliner.

She's getting even more gorgeous by the day! When can we visit and bring dinner? And when are you going to post nursery pics? (Aren't I demanding?!)

P.S. Oh...and she's not growing like a weed! My Grandma always said babies grow like "pretty flowers!!!"

Glad things seem to be going well! Hopefully you feel more rested now that she is not in your room. I was always the same way - couldn't sleep well with Sean in the room.
