First week home with Emily

We were so fortunate that my parents are AWESOME, INCREDIBLE, AMAZING!!!  They took Mikey and Katie back to PA for about 9 days while Scott and I adjusted to having a newborn again and we got to really get to know her and give her a calming and quiet environment for a few days.  This is what we were up to in CT.

Lots of sleeping.

Lots of thumb sucking.

Lots of face timing with the kids.

At her first check up 4 days after she was born on 8.11.15.  She was still 19.5 inches long and was down to 6 lbs. 4.5 oz..  She was born at 6 lbs. 10 oz on the 7th and dropped to 6 lbs. 3.6 oz when we left the hospital on the 9th and came back up 1 oz. by the 11th so good signs.

More thumb sucking.

Dr. giving her a good check up.

Hi there.

Lots of sleeping on Daddy.

He is very comfy.

Time for her first bath at home on 8.11.15 - actually just a wipe down.

Washing her pretty hair.

A little red and splotchy after her bath.

Super sleepy.

More napping.

More sleeping for both of us.

Visiting a dear friend, Katie.

Long and Lean just like her Momma.  I have an identical photo of when I was 1 week old.

Tummy time.

Early morning snuggles.

Bonding  With Daddy.

She just can't...keep...them....open...any....longer....they...are...so....heavy.

We'd basically repeat this cycle which included many feedings for the foreseeable future.!

So while we were busy doing that the kids were busy doing this......
