four. weeks. old.

i am more than a few days late posting the bird's four week photos but that's what happens when you're a mom... you are always late. (at least i am.) things just kept coming up and then i ended up getting sick and well, you know how it goes. but here she is in all of her 4 week old glory...

baby gemma has had a bit of a rough week. i think a lot of it has to do with the antibiotics that mama has to take, but she's been having a tough time sleeping and she's been a little constipated. poor baby. but that means that this mama has not been sleeping much either and i'm really crappy about taking naps while she does because that's my only mama time. so i'm pretty much a walking zombie. luckily despite her rough week, she's still been in high spirits most of the time and is just as sweet as pie. we play and listen to records, which she loves, and she's been giving us tiny smiles that melt our little hearts. we have heard our fair share of crying this week, mostly at night. (confession: constant crying sessions, saaay longer than 10 minutes, kind of drive me crazy... i don't know how i'm going to get through teething.) at times it's been frustrating but luckily papa bird is here and we can take turns gathering our sanity when needed. i feel bad for getting frustrated when she was in pain and had no other way to communicate, but i'm human.

it was a hard and challenging week for sure, but we're doing great. and the little bird turned one month old on the twentieth. we took some special pics for her one month mark that i will be posting soon. still playing catch up.♡
