Sarah turned seven weeks old yesterday. She seems to be settling into some nice routines of waking for the day at 6:30 AM and getting to bed by 6:30 PM. Hopefully she'll have an easy time adjusting to our new time-zone next week; I'm not too worried about it.
There are still times I can put Sarah down drowsy but awake and she fusses herself to sleep. Other times she takes a pacifier. Other times I have to resort to the sling (I do this if it's been more than two hours of wake-time and I'd just like to get an hour out of her). The current routine is to read (recite) a story to her (Madeline, The Going to Bed Book, or Goodnight Moon) and then hold her for eight minutes. How I came up with this time is random but it seems to work pretty well for now. Something I noticed right away in the hospital is that Sarah likes to be held more than Anna did. Last night she ate at 6:00, was in bed by 6:30, and did not wake up again to eat until 4:00 AM! Hopefully we can get more mommy-friendly timings after we get to Korea.
Sarah is holding her head up really well and for longer stretches. Still not rolling for me, though...
Anna is saying, "OK" to giving Sarah Eskimo kisses but their noses have yet to make contact as Sarah inevitably starts winging arms around once they get close and Anna backs away.
