Geez... I cannot believe our baby girl is one week old today! In pregnancy your constantly waiting... waiting to get past 12 weeks so you can breathe, waiting to find out the sex of the baby, waiting for the first kick and punch and then of course waiting for your baby to arrive.
Then... once their here, you just want to slow all time down. I cant "wait" for all of the things to come, like what will she look like as she gets older, who will she resemble more, mom or dad, what will she be when she grows up etc. But I also reallllly can wait. I am taking each day and trying my best to cherish every minute. Sometimes we will be snuggling and I know I should be trying to get something done, and I just remind myself to stop. My baby girl will only be this size for so long, I need to take it all in!
So in the last week whats happened? Well... Sunday was our first official day home from the hospital. Brynn had a rough night and I think it was because they had given her a shot on Saturday and they warned us she might be a little fussy. Well, they were right. So Sunday we just chilled out. Mom, dad and baby B :) We got plenty of naps in and Ryan unpacked all the hospital stuff and put it all away. He went and got groceries for us too! *he has been AMAZING by the way, with helping around the house and trying to take a lot off of my plate since I am always, well... feeding!*
Monday she had her first doctors appointment! Of course the first time we have to take her in the car, Maricopa had a newsbreaking dust storm... of COURSE. I was terrified the whole drive thinking every car was going to hit us. Ryan did great at staying calm. We arrived at the doctors, they measured her head, 14 inches by the way, and we filled out a lot of paperwork. While waiting for the actual doctor to come in I had to feed... of course, this little diva needs her milk! Once the doc came in she listened to her ears, heart, lungs and checked her eyes. All is welll, perfect! She weighed 7lbs 3oz, so lost 3 oz but that is completely and 100% normal and expected. She has no jaundice and is looking great! We go back at 1 month for her next appointment where she will get shots... I told Ryan I dont think I want to be in the room when that happens. Sad!
Tuesday-Thursday... we had some visitors! Aunt Olivia came over to see her on Wednesday and we made dinner, Thursday Kelsey, cousin Ashley and Elizabeth came over. All of them fell in love, its hard not to! We took our first walk down to the clubhouse in the neighborhood and enjoyed a beer and an appetizer. Brynlee liked the walk, the weather has been just GORGEOUS. It hit 90 degrees this week! The pool looks so appetizing and we are so ready for summer!
Today, well today we celebrate her being one week old! I am going to be doing a weekly photoshoot for her first year, more to come on that soon. I got inspiration off of another blog for whats about to come :)
Oh and right now, well daddy is sleeping, he just let me get 5.5 hours of sleep, he rocks. And Brynlee is next to me propped in her boppy snoozin away, in yet another, milk coma! This girl lovesss to eat. Oh and I forgot to mention, I LOVE breastfeeding. I never ever thought I would say that! It is the most amazing bonding experience ever. I thought I was only going to do it for the first 2 months and I can already tell that I dont plan on stopping for a while... going to try for the 6 month mark and see how we do!
Brynlee, mom and dad love you all the way to the moon and back! You are the sweetest baby girl and we couldnt have been more blessed with a perfect angel! You truly are amazing. Slow down a little and let mom and dad take in every moment, so try not to move to fast on us!!
Until next time... :)
Oh my gosh, time just goes by faster and faster every week! I don't even have time to wish it was Friday, it seems like every time I blink another week went by. I wonder if it will ever slow down again? Doesn't that sleep feel so amazing! It totally changes your entire day! So glad to read that the three of you are adjusting well!
