Passing the 2hr Mark (10/20/06 thru 10/31/06)

Moving Hannah into our bed was the right move. We could roll over to feed or comfort her and didn't have to get in and out of bed every time she made a sound. Gradually, things started to get better as she gained some weight and started adjusting to the world. Instead of 2hrs max of continuous sleep, we started to get 3 or 4 before she would wake up. While this doesn't seem like much, it made a big difference, and helped us realize that there was hope on the horizon.

Because Hannah was still very new, we had many visitors during this time, and Hannah was surrounded with love all the time. Babushka and Dedushka were regular visitors, and Nana No-Ninnies came up frequently as well. Also Aunt Stephanie, Kathryn, Amy and others.

October 31 was also Hannah's first Halloween, and like all parents, we treated her like our doll, and dressed her as a pumpkin.

Hannah weighed 7lbs 14oz, was 21 inches long, and her head measured 36cm.
