doing good! Week one down..

Well, things here are setting in with baby. We have our breastfeeding routine and schedule posted up on the fridge. And she actually sticks to it pretty good, with feedings every 3 hours and lots and lots of deep newborn sleep in between. Yeah, it's true what they say: newborns lives consist of eating, sleeping, and pooping! And gratefully with 'Nugget' (baby's nickname) she is so easy...no colic or major cry fests. Overall, she has been a really easy baby. Yes, we are tired and still exhausted at the end of each day. But we are so loving every minute of being parents to this angel.

It's been so nice to have Yann home here with us and he has been doing major Papa & baby bonding time. He sings her songs in French and she smiles in her sleep back at him. He is a natural with her; so calm and sweet. I am so impressed with his fathering skills, seeing as he never had really even held a baby or changed a diaper before having one! I am just in love with this little tiny bundle of warmth. Her skin is so soft and smooth and it smells heavenly. I am forever sniffing her little head and petting her hair while I feed her. So, now she is about 10 days old and I am wondering how much weight she is putting on. We have a doc appointment next week, so I will report back on that. We keep commenting on how it seems like her little belly is getting rounder and rounder.

So, here are a few more pics to hold you over!
