Emmie's 1st Week Home

It is hard to believe how quickly time goes by once your baby arrives! We are doing really well around here, but seem to stay super busy. Emmie is such a sweet baby so far, and we hope that she continues to stay that way. :) She is still a great sleeper as she only wakes up once a night to eat. I have to believe that being a big baby has something to do with that!

Emmie went to the doctor last Friday for a weight check and had lost down to 8 pounds, 5 ounces. We went back the following Wednesday and she weighed in at 8 pounds, 10 ounces. The doctor said she was gaining weight just as she should and thought she looked great. We won't have to go back again until she is one month old.

Lainie is doing so well and is such a great big sister. She loves to look at Emmie and touch her toes, pat her head, etc. She is sure to tell me every time Emmie has the "make-ups" which is her word for hiccups.....too cute! She is so precious and just is being such a trooper as we adjust to having two little ones. She loves coloring, playing with play-doh, going on walks, and has recently discovered sidewalk chalk. She loves arts and crafts!

Here are some pictures from the week!

Welcome Home, Emmie!
