First Week

I didn't know what to expect this week.  Michael spent most of his first week in the NICU which was completely exhausting!!  To say I wasn't scared of that happening again is an understatement.  I hoped for the best, and I think I got it.

I had a really easy delivery and the after pains haven't been bad.  From the beginning she has been eating and sleeping great.  This week has actually been pleasant.  The last two nights I've gotten more than 8 hours of sleep because she sleeps 4-5 hours at a time.

My mom came over Monday and watched Michael.  Tuesday Josh dropped him off at my sisters for most of the day while he went to class.  After that I was okay to be on my own.  Honestly I was really bored on Tuesday, so it was nice to have someone to chase around.

I had this fear that Michael would regress a little when we brought her home (every time we've moved he has regressed a little) but so far he's doing great!  He has started talking like crazy!!  For a while he has only said mama, dada, and ya.  He has now added:

• sister (sis-ta)
• tiger (ti-ga)
• bottle/bye-bye (bah-bah)
• uh-oh
• stick (sh-tick)
• choo-choo

Here are a few cute pictures from this week

My mom pulled him around in this wagon for a good half hour and as you can tell he loved it 

This was too cute not to post

She's already doing great with tummy time, she would stay this way all day if it didn't give her hiccups
