Three months old!

Miss Meg will be three months old this weekend.  I can't believe it, my baby is growing up so fast!  She giggled for the first time this week.

Meg is a very good baby.  Breastfeeding is going well, although she likes to play with me and smile instead of eating!  She sleeps very well through the night, only waking up once or twice to eat; I don't know how I'd sleep at night if she wasn't cosleeping with me - those first six weeks, she wouldn't sleep for 15 minutes if I wasn't right beside her!  She's is able to sleep on her own now during the day, and can console herself, as long as she has her security blanket to play with!

Smile, Meg!

Meg's other nickname is Mickey.  The story behind that goes like this: Some time ago we got chicks from a bird hatchery called Murray McMurray.  My brother Joel then started calling Meg "Margaret McMargaret" which got shorted to "McMargaret" and now, "Mickey"!  I don't mind that, but I do put my foot down when it comes to "Marg" or "Margie" as Grace sometimes calls her; those are not okay!

In other news, I've been working as a seamstress in alterations now since March, and have been back at my job from maternity leave for 6 weeks.  However, I hope to be able to work entirely from home in the near future so I can spend more time with my baby.  I've been working quite hard on my Etsy business, so stay tuned as I will be posting some exciting updates in the next couple of days!
