2 Weeks Old & Newborn Check


2 Weeks Old!!
(Posting late... trying to catch up! Better late than never.. HA)

Emily you are 2 weeks old! We can't believe our eyes that you are ours!
You are such a GOOD baby! We are SO lucky and blessed!
We all have adjusted well and are beginning to get into a routine sorta.
Mommy still relies on Daddy a little because I am still sore from having you.
Emily you LOVE being held up close and being swaddled! Daddy swaddles you best though. You sleep SOO much right now... So much it worried me for a while. We wake you up ever 2 to 2.5 hours to eat! You are nursing well thank goodness! We go to baby weigh-in every Friday and you are gaining like you should... this past Friday you weighed 7lbs 7oz!

You sleep in our room in the napper station on the Pack n' Play.
You like your bouncy seat when you are in it... which is rare because you are usually in someone's arms!
We have had LOTS of visitors the past 2 weeks... we actually haven't had a day without someone coming by to see you.
We are so thankful for everyone that stopped by and brought us dinner!

You had your newborn check at 1 week 2days old!
That was a BIG day for both you and Mommy... newborn check and newborn session that took 4 hours!
Let's just say we were both pooped.
We had lots of questions for Dr. Harrison. He is such a good doctor and took the time to answer them all and made us feel at ease. Everything looked and sounded great! You weighed 7lbs 3oz and were 21 inches long at your appointment which put you back up to your birth weight and you had grown 2 inches in length!
We love you so much sweet girl! Keep GROWING!

Newborn Pictures

We had Emily's newborn pictures taken when she was 1 week 2 days old!
Jennifer Goodman took them! (I highly recommend her if you are local and looking for a photographer! She is SO patient with newborns!) She is SO talented and does such great work.... her props are amazing too. I am SO glad we had these taken!
I will treasure these pictures FOREVER!!
Emily slept almost the whole time, which is what we wanted... she looks so peaceful!

The pictures turned out so good... It is going to be really hard to pick!!
Here are just a few that were taken..




We captured a smile!!



The love he has for here is indescribable!

Update



My how our lives have changed over the past 3 weeks!!

It all started early Sunday morning, Dec. 5th.. I woke up at 3:00 a.m contracting...So funny to think back at those Braxton Hick contraction prior to real labor and thinking those where the real thing! HA.. think again... the REAL ones HURT!!! I labored all day and ended up having a c-section. Not exactly what I had in mind but the end result of having a healthy baby and Mommy is all that matters... and that is what we got!! Thank you Lord!!

First family photo!


Here are her stats..
She loves being in her Daddy's arms!

We play dress up everyday! Mommy can't resist the HUGE bows!
The BIGGER the BETTER!

Always Jolly... That's what her onesie says... and boy are we JOLLY!
SHOO WEE!! Lots of stinky diapers for Daddy!
First time to empty the diaper genie! We have to document everything!

Sleeping beauty!!!

Parenthood is the BEST!!
