Our First Week at Home

Mikayla is one week old and we have made it through our first week at home. I'm glad I caught up on all my sleep ahead of time, while on bed rest, because I'm definitely missing it now! We are both a little bit exhausted, but we are taking naps when she naps and we are doing great. Establishing a routine is not easy but with the help and advice from some great family and friends we've had the support and love to coach us through... the rest we'll pick up on our own I know.

Mikayla is a great baby, she is healthy eater with a big appetite (starting to get that double chin like mommy!) and she sleeps great too. Jon is amazed by how much she poops... he calls her a poop factory. And she likes to surprise us with mid diaper change poops too... sneaky little Rebel! She's had two sponge baths which she didn't really like as she was quite squirmy. And her umbilical cord belly button piece just fell off today. Yeah!

Our Drunken Sailor needs to burp!




Loving every second of sponge bath time!


Daddy to the rescue with a warm towel.

We are excited for all of you to meet Mikayla. We are definitely up for visitors. If you'd like to come see us just give us a call so we can let you know what time she's awake.

She is so freakin cute. Good times. It's hard to believe it's been 5 years since our little one was that little.
