Sleepy Time?

Thanks to everyone for your advice on getting Emma to sleep through the night! I've tried a combination of things, and now she's consistently waking up at 12, 3, and 6am. I hope she'll start dropping these feedings one at a time, but we've begun to deal with colic the last couple days, which throws off bedtime because she'd rather cry through the evening...but then she will wake up at 1, 4, and 7am, or 2, 5, and 8am---so I guess she's still consistent... We'll get through it. Meaning me, I guess. =) My husband also used to think when he woke up in the morning that Emma had slept through the night. He learned pretty quick to not ask me that.

I took her to Notre Dame last week to visit my old co-workers. Since it was a beautiful day, I decided I had to introduce her to St. Mary's, too. It was finals week, and it felt strange seeing everyone studying while I didn't have to, but it doesn't seem like it has been long since it was me. I went into Madeleva, which was hard to recognize from the inside since it has been renovated. It's so nice! I was trying to find the Writing Center, since I used to work there, which I was told was on the first floor, but it didn't dawn on me that it was literally in the basement first floor. Is it just me, or didn't we assume the first floor was the main floor of classrooms while the basement was dark and sparse with just some offices? That seemed to have the biggest changes. It seemed so open and light.

I also went to the new classroom building. I had to find the English department, which I think took up an entire wing. I walked through the office area and saw so many names that I didn't recognize, but I did find Dr. Haigwood there grading papers, and I was able to visit with her. I also saw Max and Ted Billy in passing, but they were both meeting with other people. It was nice to enjoy the campus during finals week without any stress. So I believe it has been 7 years since I graduated....wow...the campus is so different now, and yet exactly the same. I couldn't help quickly walking through the library to see everyone studying. Now that felt exactly the same! Well, that was my little time for nostalgia.

Here are some more pictures from the past couple weeks:

Like father like daughter....the last failed attempt with the pacifier.

She's now my big 8 pound 12 ounce porker!

Curling up on daddy.

Not happy with her new fashion statement.
