So far, so good!

We actually had a pretty good week in the Goodrich household. Monday was a little rough, but we now know that if Presley doesn't get in some good long naps, she is not happy! Tuesday, we had another addition to the Goodrich family. Steve's brother Jason had a another pretty little girl! After 7 boys and 2 girls, Presley and little Ava Elizabeth are helping the girls make a comeback in the family, 7 boys to 4 girls! Steve and I would have to have 3 more girls to even it out and I don't think that's going to happen! ha!
We took Presley to the hospital with us, we were a little nervous of how she would act, but she was actually pretty good. She got a little fussy when she got hungry and tired, but fell asleep on the way home and took an hour nap!
Wednesday night she took at very short evening nap, and about 7:30 we were going to give her a bath. I put her on the changing table and there she laid, happy as can be! So I put away some of her laundry while she was just laying there! 10 minutes went by and then she finally started getting bored, so it was off to bathtime. Since she likes her baths now, we take our time and make them last as long as we can. At 8pm, we dressed her, fed her and swaddled her for bedtime by 9.......she got up at her usual 1:30ish time and then we up at 4 am...not wide awake but not tired enough to sleep in her crib. So we cuddled on the couch till 6 am, when Dad woke us up.
Tonight we decided to venture out to the Valley Junction farmers market. She had got a little fussy every now and then, Aunt Holly held her for a long time and she just watched everything going on. Finally, we got her to take a short nap while I walked around with her, watching the band, drinking a beer! It was so nice out! It was nice to get out of the house and to be able to take Presley out with us! We got home a little before 8 and played till after 9 pm, a night of having a happy baby is something we aren't used to! :) Maybe this is a sign of good things to come! (I don't want to jinx us, since I have girls night tomorrow night and Steve has a bachelor party on Saturday night!)
Wish us luck and a happy baby!!
