Big day...

We had a big day yesterday, Friday the 17th. I let Steven talk me into taking Sophia out for a walk. I haven't wanted her to go anywhere but to the doctor's until she's 4 weeks old, but I was starting to go a little stir crazy since I hadn't left the house in over a week either. Another reason I didn't want to take her outside is because the allergens in this area are always so high. The temperature has been so nice here, so I finally let her go outside. We went for a nice walk around the neighborhood, and she slept the entire time.

The fun didn't stop there...we went to my dad's house too! It was poker night, and as always they had a house full of people. As you all know I'm a germ freak so I let people hold her, but I had the hand sanitizer out squirting it into anyone's hands who wanted to hold her. Everyone keeps saying that I'm going to have a bubble child...I'll try and gear down on the craziness when she gets a little older. She's just too little right now, and too susceptible to germs. The ring tone on my cell right now is a Matchbox Twenty song, Unwell, "I'm not crazy I'm just a little unwell". So true!

The big day out helped us with a successful nights sleep! She went down at 10:30pm, without crying, and didn't start to fuss until 4:15am. Almost 6 hours of sleep!!! It was amazing! Maybe getting out a bit is the key to our sleeping success.

Stay tuned as Steven will post pictures of our big day when he returns from the store today.

Thanks Katie, and Jess, for the constant kind and encouraging words.

Much love to all our family and friends!
