My little Otter has been doing so well the past several nights. She is sleeping between 5-6 hours in one stretch! I am so excited! She first started on our trip to SC. I was shocked when she continued after we returned. I though four hours of uninterrupted sleep was good, but 5-6 is even better!
Tomorrow is my Lane family reunion and I need all your prayers! I am in charge and will be leading the reunion. Please pray that we will have people there and that I will overcome my overwhelming fear of talking in front of a crowd and that all will go well. Not sure what lies ahead for the early part of tomorrow, but hope we find something relaxing and/or fun.
Otters first long car ride went relatively well. We stopped seven times (three for food, once for gas, twice for new state maps). Only one time was solely for feeding Otter. She has slept like a rock since we got here this evening. I guess it is her first restful sleep of the day!
Otter (along with the rest of her family) took a trip to the mountains for a yummy breakfast cooked by her grandmomma and a hike with her family and some friends. This was little girl's first hike in the beautiful mountains of East Tennessee. She is so happy to be outdoors. It really has a great calming effect on her. Both Joe and I carried her in the baby carrier (Joe on the way up, me on the way down) and she slept peacefully the whole time. I really enjoy these times we get together for breakfast and hiking and I am thankful that our little girl seems to as well.
It is hard to believe that my little Otter is already a month old! She is just so adorable that I seem to not be able to pull away from her. I am not sure if it is that I might be a little bias as her mother, but she is ssooo gorgeous! She is healthy, growing at a good rate, and she is sleeping well. What more could we ask for?
Today was a fun day (once we got it started!). We met with my brother and his kids and we all headed to the mountains. We had decided to head up to Greenbrier to try to find a swimming hole. We found a nice little area that the kids (along with the two big boys) could play in. There was another group close by that let us borrow a few tubes and the kids had a little area that they could use the tubes to go down. They were having so much fun! Then we headed to the Sinks so that the guys could jump off a rock. After Bubba, my brother, and my nephew jumped off several times Joe joined in before we left. From there we headed to my parents' house for a great cook out and to watch fireworks.
