- Everyone has been telling me to rest when the kid rests... well she can tell when I'm resting, because the second I fall asleep she decides that she's not tired.
- My phone only rings when I'm feeding her and the phone is in the other room.
- The day goes by super fast. I don't know how mom's get anything done. It might be my lack of brain cells from no sleep, but I can't focus on one thing long enough to get anything done.
- Rachel should be entered into some kind of poo flinging contest... we could be rich. She has got good aim too, as you can see in the photo below.
- But after its all said and done, I really love this little girl. She is the sweetest thing. Today I was burping her and she was falling asleep, and she was twitching those little smiles, and then she did something I hadn't seen her do before. She giggled. I'm pretty sure it wasn't on purpose or anything, but it was while she was smiling and it sounded like something was pretty funny. It makes the sleepless nights worth it!
I'm sure the list will continue to grow, but those are just some things that are kind of funny.
Monday she was two weeks old, and then Tuesday we went to the doctor to see if she had gained her birth weight back, and sure enough, she weighed 6 lbs. 15 oz. and she grew an inch. Keep in mind that she wasn't even due until today, the 25th. Everything looked good, so Kevin and I are pretty happy parents. Anyway, here are some more pictures to enjoy.
Dad loves to hold her. He told me the other day that I was lucky because I get to stay home with her all day.
I love how her little legs fold up just perfectly.
Daddy and Rachel.

Getting ready for a bath.
She was looking pretty cute and stretching, so I snapped some pictures of her cuteness.
We try all the time to catch her when she is sleep smiling. It never really works, but we were close on this one.
These were on Monday. Two weeks old.
I saw this and it reminded me of how small she is.
When Kevin gets home he can't put her down, so this is him attempting to get some homework done too.
Your blog made me giggle and remember those times. She is beautiful and soooo cute! I promise that you have to give yourself a window of at least 4 months. You are allowed to stay in survival mode for at least that long, you can be productive later!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness. What a precious baby girl you have. And the daddy pictures make me tear up! I love it. Such a wonderful little family!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, that looks like a neat little tub. Do you put it in the actual tub and the water comes through the mesh part? Or do you just put water in the baby tub?
ReplyDeleteIts just a baby tub. We actually don't have a tub for us, just a shower. There is a little mesh sling that she is sitting in, but it is removable. So when she is bigger she will still fit!
ReplyDeleteThis is too cute!
ReplyDeleteOh she is too darn cute! It doesn't take them long to pull at your heartstrings. Sometime life will begin to get back to normal, but until then, just snuggle with her! Good luck with everything!
ReplyDeleteShe is adorable! I love the pictures of Kevin with her.. precious!
ReplyDeleteHi Marty! I love her and can't wait to hold her. But don't let her grow in the meantime, ok. You are lucky you get to stay home with her, that was sweet. I love the pics with you and Kevin holding her. Love you guys!!
