Our big weekend!

This has been a BIG weekend for Molly.  We hit three big milestones.

1 - She met her great-grandmother, great-aunt and great-uncle! My grandmother, aunt, and uncle drove up from Warner Robins, GA to meet Molly.  We spent Friday evening with them.  Then this morning, we all went to the Brooklyn Baptist M.O.M (Moms Of Multiples) consignment sale and the trunk sale at Springdale Baptist.  We had a great time.  While most of the Moms there shopping were by themselves or with their husband, I had with me Molly, my mom, my dad, grandmother, Aunt Marsha, and Uncle George.  We had quite the posey walking around.   This evening we celebrated my grandmother's 92nd birthday!  She is such a sweet, Godly woman.  This was her 2nd birthday since she lost her husband (my grandaddy) in February 2011.  We miss him so much.

 Molly loved spending time with them and I'm pretty sure the feeling was mutual.

2 - She slept through the night!!!  Since day one, I've had to wake her up to feed her in the middle of the night.  I hated it.  I knew she needed to be fed but I hated having to wake her up when she was sleeping so well.  After getting the "okay", we tried it last night.  We put her to bed around 10:30 after her last feeding.  As usual, she went to sleep with no problem.  I rejoiced in not having to set my alarm clock.  Which was good because I didn't even know where my cell phone was last night.  We slept allll through the night.  I woke up at 5:30am and decided to pump.  One not-so-bad problem I am having is that my body is overproducing milk.  So, I shouldn't be pumping much since my body doesn't need to produce more.  But they were so sore, I decided to pump anyway.  As soon as I get back in the bed just after 6:00am, Molly starts stirring.  I decided to go ahead and feed her.  After that, I put her back in her crib and she went back to sleep... and so did I!  Great success!!! :)  Can we do that again tonight, Molly???

3 - She had her first bottle!!!  Josh and I have been trying to set a time to give her her first bottle this week but things kept getting in the way.  So this afternoon, we had the time to try it out.  I pumped and Josh gave her the bottle.  She took to it right away.  I was so proud of her but inside it was a wee bit sad to watch her feed from somewhere other than my breast!  I guess it's that feeling you get when you realize your daughter has outgrown Barbie dolls or your child starts driving.  But that's just my hormones going crazy... ha ha!!

Our little 5 weeker is getting so big and so active.  She will fixate her eyes on just about anything.  She will always win in a staring contest.  She smiles so much now and it makes our hearts melt everytime.
