- Gemma had her 6 week appointment with the doctor on Friday, September 21st. She weighed 10 pounds, 2 ounces, and was 22 inches long.
- On Sunday, September 23rd, Mayo played in the All-Ireland Gaelic Football final. Paul's mom came up to take care of Gemma so that we could both go to the match. Unfortunately they lost :(
- We went to the American Embassy on Wednesday, September 26th to register Gemma's birth and apply for her American passport and Social Security card.
- Also on September 26th, Gemma had her first meaningful smile (not just gas!). It melts my heart to see it every time!
- Last weekend we booked our plane tickets to come to MN! Gemma and I arrive November 16th, Paul will arrive December 19th, and we will all fly out on December 26th. Can't wait to introduce Gemma to all of her American family and friends!
- Gemma is getting stronger all the time. She can hold her head up on her own for awhile while being held upright and can push herself up a bit on her arms.
- Yesterday I discovered that Starbucks here has pumpkin spice lattes! This is the first year they've had them and is just what this tired mom needs!

| September 16th Gemma has spent a lot of time in her carrier (the Stokke MyCarrier- love it!), as it keeps her upright and lets me get bottles washed and laundry done! |
 |
| September 21st Trying to get a picture for Gemma's passport! In the end, none of the ones that I took worked and we had them taken at a pharmacy near the embassy. |
