Tony has been after me to post some new pics of Clara. She will be 4 weeks on Friday so I was planning to wait til then. But here are some I took earlier this week.
Things are actually going as smoothly as they can at this point. She is nursing well and gaining weight. She is sleeping at night about as well as can be expected at this age. I feed her just before I go to bed at ~ 11:00 and then she usually wakes at 2:30 and again ~6:30. She goes right to sleep after eating without any trouble. To me that's pretty good. I try to squeeze in a nap for me during the day when I can, but I am not really that tired considering it all. I guess moms just get used to functioning on less sleep :)
I have started taking the boys to school in the morning and Tony is picking them up. I just slip Clara into the Moby wrap (which I love and highly recommend!!) and have my hands free to deal with the boys. Plus she is more protected from all the germy hands that want to touch her at school.
We even went out to the zoo last Friday to enjoy the lovely weather we were having. It was a shorter trip than usual, but it was a success. Our first big extracurricular outing!
I'll try to post more after her 4 week check up.

Yay, I emailed you before I checked the blog. She is getting bigger. That sleep pattern sounds great, thank goodness for that. Linc and I went to the zoo last Thursday, haha, I should have called you. We were only there for an hour, but it was fun.
She is beautiful! You are seriously daring to take the kids to the zoo. Three sure is busy isn't it, but wouldn't have it any other way. Hope you are doing well.
