Two Weeks of Sweetness

My amateur photography featuring our sweetie.

Well, we started out our second week on a lower note.  I’m not sure what it was about, but I spent Hannah’s one week birthday feeling sickly in a nonspecific way.  Thankfully it passed pretty quickly, but then two days later I discovered she had thrush.  No fun!  I presume the antibiotics at birth played a role in this. 

This is what Nystatin tastes like the first time your mean Mommy gives it to you!  Josiah was rolling with laughter!

We immediately started treatment for both of us while disinfecting everything every day.  In a few days there was no sign of it, but I know it often comes back, so I tried to stay diligent with the treatments and cleaning.  We’ll see how that goes.  Meanwhile, I haven’t had the heart to dump all my pumped milk, but I have clearly marked it for boiling if I must use it later.  Very disheartening, but I count myself blessed that she’s generally healthy.

My favorite dress!

Those lips and wrinkles!

Not the best picture of Hannah, but this is my favorite casual outfit.  Do I need to mention I like blue – apparently even on girls!

The boys continue to be in love with their sister.  It really is too sweet!

In this second week Hannah has had two special visitors.  Tommy and Margie came to visit and took some very beautiful pictures of her.  (Those are still to come.)  We always enjoy their visits.  She went to work with me a couple times (I really need to stop that!), out to lunch with me, Joshua, and Josiah, running a couple errands, and to church.  She’s so good for all this!  Also, Daddy left for Ohio for a week and a half on her second week birthday.  He was sad to leave his family with it’s new addition.

Those eyes can pierce your heart!  No wonder Daddy struggled to leave for work.  Pure preciousness!
