Week 1

Life with a newborn. That is exactly why I have been absent in the blogging world these past few weeks :) The Beck household is finally getting into the swing of things being a family of three and visitors are finally starting to slow down.  We are completely loving our new addition and Adelie is making this transition unbelievably easy. She is SUCH a good baby :) I got a ton of flack from my coworkers when I would joke that she wasn't going to cry and she would always sleep through the night. Well, ((knock on wood)) she hardly ever cries and sleeps a good majority of the night, waking up to feed every 3 or so hours. I'm starting to feel better post delivery, the first couples days...yikes and yowza. Itty bitty had her first drs. apt last week, June 25th at 3 days old and weighed in at 8.2lbs and 21 1/2 inches, by her nurses visit on Thursday she was already up to 8.7lbs. She is such a healthy happy baby, and girl's got a great appetite ;)

She's a little long for newborns, but too skinny for 3m.

She's more Newborn Tall

I could kiss those cheeks all day long :)

June 26th was daddy's Birthday :)

And you were the BEST present ever!

Happy One Week Birthday Babes!

Age: 1 week
Weight: 8.7lbs
Height: 21 1/2 inches
Eating: She is eating about every 2 hours, 100% breastfeeding
Baby's Sleep: Sleeping great! Sleeps most of the day and wakes up a few times at night to eat usually every 2-3 hours.
Mom's Sleep: Not sleep deprived yet, on somewhat of a baby high :) The first night home, I slept beside her crib on the floor, then with her in my arms on the floor, then in the chair with her in my arms, can't get enough of her!
Dad's Sleep: I may delete this category soon because let's face it, dad could sleep through anything, and does ;)
Milestones Reached: She is very alert when awake and towards the end of the week really started using her hands to comfort herself whether it be to touch her face or hold onto her binky (yes she already has a binky, no nipple confusion either!) Had her first sponge bath at home.
Outings: First restaurant and first shopping outing to the mall with Papa R and Aunt Jam
Funny Moment: Baby may or may not have latched onto dad, as she was laying on his bare chest. I had to run upstairs to a screeching Brandon holding her a few inches above his chest ;)
