So Begin the "Firsts"

We have successfully survived two weeks at home!  As with any new baby there are many firsts that have happened already, here are the highlights.

First Walk

Get used to those red carts, little one

First family outing to the pediatrician and to Target.  On that note, she is doing great and gaining weight like a champ.  At her first appt, two days after hospital discharge she weighed 7lb 7oz, and the following week 7lb 12oz, so I was all worried about breastfeeding success for nothing!  And everything else checked out as well.

First Bath, wasn't a fan at first but then realized how awesome baths are

First Tummy Time
And First Face Time



And here are some more, just because she's cute,




We are adjusting to our new life, trying to grab sleep when we can
And attempting to get in to a routine.  There have definitely been some tears, those darn hormonal shifts are rough!  But there has also been lots of laughter as we blunder through some things.  Eric survived his first poo-'splosion, and boy was it impressive, I'm talking poo on the drapes, dresser, bed, carpet, shirt. 
Product testing

More adjustments were made this week as my Mom and Step-Dad returned home.  I really don't now how we would have coped over the past few weeks without them, there really aren't enough words of thanks.  Annalise and I did survive our first solo outings and she even allowed me to enjoy a scone and coffee at Starbucks!  So now we just continue to settle in, just in time to move next week!  That should be fun...
