Not only is September 18th our wedding anniversary, it is also the anniversary of our egg retrieval. The day our little Megan was conceived. What a perfect addition to an already special day in our lives. Oh how our lives have changed in the past year. We feel so blessed.

What a difference a year makes:
Then - Our little Day 5 embryos (actually Sept 23rd). Hard to believe one of these is our Megan.


And Now - Our little almost 15 week old.

Another month has passed. It's just unreal how quickly the time seems to be going now that Megan is here.

We have this month off as far as appointments go, so we tried to weigh Megan to at least get some idea of where she's at now that she's 3 months. The bathroom scale said 10lbs. So, she's gained about a pound in the last month..give or take the accuracy of that scale and method.

This month we've discovered so many things. Megan loves making faces at the baby in the mirror. Even better is when you hold her and look at her in the mirror and she looks at you in the mirror too and flashes one of her giant smiles your way.

Stroller rides have been taken to the next level by getting to ride like a big girl without the car seat bucket. She loves to look around and take it all in. You barely hear a peep out of her unless it's some sort of coo or other sound of contentment.

This kid loves music. Lucky for her, daddy likes to sing silly songs to her. He makes her laugh and it's so adorable!

This morning I noticed that she's started doing a fake cough. It's funny, she'll do it and then smile real big. She also makes a sort of kiss sound when you smother her with kisses.

Megan is definitely a social butterfly. I honestly think she likes people watching and taking in her environment. She's generally a really good baby and tolerates being passed around to whoever might want to hold her. I hope she stays this way. I don't want a clingy baby that won't go to other people.

I honestly don't think we could have asked for a better sleeper. We've been working at getting her down between 8:30-9:00 and she's starting to sleep ten hours (more consistently) before she wakes to eat. Then she'll take a bottle and go back down for another 3-4 hours. They say babies at her age should be sleeping an average of 15 hours per day and we're almost getting that in her night sleep. For now, naps are still mostly happening in the swing. We've tried the PnP and crib a few times but she'll only sleep for 45 minutes whereas if we put her in the swing, she might sleep almost two hours.

Photos are definitely a challenge. She has such an amazing smile, yet doesn't like to show it when the camera comes out.
