Lazy Days

Not too much is new around here, but I thought I'd better get something on here for the sake of updating. This picture pretty much sums up our days around here, but let me tell you, when the sun goes down it's a completely different story. In speaking to my friends and family members within the last week, I have come to understand that most babies have a fussy time and that it's usually early evening. Jack never had a fussy time so we were completely spoiled by that. Jovie has chosen her fussy time to start at about 10:00pm lasting until around 12:00-1:00am. I know I shouldn't complain, especially because she does so well during the day, but with Rob up at 5:00am for work, and Jovie and I up again at 3:00am and 6:00am to nurse, our nights have been quite stressful. I hope there is an end in sight to the sleepless nights. 

In other news, Rob and I are so incredibly geared up for the big game on Sunday. In the 8 1/2  years I've known him, he's been the most devoted Arizona Cardinals fan out there. To see them in the Super Bowl this weekend and to see how happy it makes him is so awesome! Just hours after Jovie's birth, we got to witness the first playoff game. I wish someone else besides myself, the doctor, and the nurse could have seen his face. There he sat holding his new baby girl, watching his team win in the playoffs for the first time ever. We'll never forget that day as long as we live, and nothing will probably be able to top it for Rob as long as he lives. So, needless to say, even though we're both exhausted, stressed, and worn out, we have so much to be thankful for...each other, our beautiful, healthy kids, and of course, the good old Cardinals:)

First Bath

No one has ever seen her eyes this open because she sleeps all the time! Finally, Jovie's cord came off and we were able to give her a real bath. She loved the warm water, but the enjoyment was short lived. Once we started washing her, it was all over. Her tummy looks huge here because she just ate, but in actuality it's very tiny.

Sitting Pretty

We thought this was the cutest little pose ever!

First Sponge Bath

Since Jovie's cord is taking awhile to come off, we've had to give her a few sponge baths. She absolutely hates them. She is heaven for the split second that the warm washcloth touches her skin, and the second it turns cold, she freaks. I hope she'll be happier with baths when she can actually soak in the warm water.
