Today is Allie's 1 week birthday! It has been a wild week so far but definitely one of the best weeks of mine and Nick's lives. We sit and hold her and still can't believe she's all ours. We are truly blessed.
Allie's doctor's appointment went very well yesterday. She did great and won the heart of the nurse right away. She only screamed a little bit during the exam, mostly when the doctor messed with her diaper. She hates when people mess with her diaper! She weighed in at 8 lbs 1/2 oz so she's almost back up to her birth weight. Her jaundice looked good so she doesn't need any further testing on that. We have to go back next week for another weight check but other than that the doctor said she looked perfect!
When she's not eating and sleeping, Allie likes to just stare off into space or look at Mommy and Daddy's faces. She's very alert for a 1-week-old. She's been pretty calm although she seems to get fussy for a few hours in the evenings. Repeating her name over and over seems to calm her down for awhile as does the binky. She's quite the little piggy eating 2 oz every three hours and still wanting more! Our nights haven't been too bad yet. She sleeps soundly between feedings which has been very nice. She likes to lay stomach to stomach and to be held. She's also a fan of the bouncy seat and the boppy. She's still a little unsure about the swing. She gets these adorable little smiles on her face periodically throughout the day and they instantly melt my heart. I couldn't have asked for a cuter baby! We're so lucky to have her in our lives!
Happy Birthday Baby Girl!
