Baby Dedication

Grace was dedicated at church on Sunday. Her Magaw, Papaw, Uncle Joe, Aunt Erika, Cousin Ellie, & Cousin Jake came to see her. What a special girl!

Grace is such a sweet girl. She doesn't seem to like restaurants anymore. Way too much going on & not enough attention on her. She has gotten into a great bedtime routine...in her crib asleep by 9:00 or earlier & sleeps through the night with the occational pacifier panic around 3:00 ...then up around 5:30 to eat & back to sleep until 7:00. I can handle that! Her naps during the day are hit & miss...she usually gets a long 3 hr. early afternoon nap & little cat naps here & there. She's eating around 5oz. in her bottle with Magaw & Babysitter Sara. She's been on a bit of a bottle strike...but eventually will eat without mommy.

Just because I keep getting questions: I'm working 3 days a week...my leg (blood clot leg) aches after I work or exercise which is to be expected. I'm still on Coumadin & we're having a really difficult time getting my blood thin enough. I started out on like 5mg every other day...now I'm up to 8mg everyday. Who knows...the blood clot is stable & they aren't worried about it at all. So...I'm not either! Who has the time to worry anyway?! Sure doesn't help!

Update on Andrew: Still job searching...lots of opportunities just none happening right this second. He's still working ridiculous hours at the jail & filling out applications for police officer positions as well as prison correctional officer jobs. We are confident that the right job will come along at the right time & the right location. Just wish that right job, right time, & right location would reveal itself ASAP! :)

Poor Murphy is still living in the garage & backyard. He's happy as can be...doesn't seem too upset with this new arrangement. I'm sure we'll let him back in at some point. Grace is just so small and Murphy is just so big!

Grace is getting so big! She is such a doll. I'm glad to hear that her sleep schedule is so good. It's hard to function without a predictable sleep pattern. I think about you guys often! Love you much!
