2 weeks, 5 days

Two weeks, five days later. It's been a pretty hectic couple of weeks as we adjust to these new roles as parents. Daisy is doing pretty darn well. Of course, don't babies always do well? It's the parents who have a rough time. The hardest part about coming home was not waking up every time she made a noise. No, I'm not a "Ferber Method" person (name the movie). I was getting up for every little coo or movement because I thought she was waking up. Now I need her to cry at least once before I'll get up to get her. It's made it much easier to sleep.

Since I'm the "cafeteria" as Working Man puts it, I do need to take care of the evening activities solely. I do, however, get to pass along the diapers and everything for the day to Working Man. He gets the princess' smelly diapers. We've found she now sleeps on average for about 3-4 hours during the day, at night somewhere between 4-6 hours. Waking hours vary. She's most awake in the morning for about 3 hours. In the evening for another 3 hours. Then random times throughout the day. It still amazes me how much she looks around and how aware she is.

And now, pictures of our Princess.

Who could deny those blues? They still haven't changed. She may end up being blue-eyed which means, I carry a gene for blue eyes. How cool!


Itty bitty feet committee.




What's up momma?!



And a little tummy time for neck strength. Not that she needs it. She's nearly managing to crawl already.

Up next, camping. We'll be heading out for several days to take this little one on her first camping trip. The inspiration is a picture I have (somewhere) of my dad holding me in front of a tent from when I was just a few months old. I have always had a love of camping and hopefully I can instill that same thing in her!

Oh, we did have our first doctor's appointment. She's gained back all the weight she lost, up to 7lbs 10oz (she was 6lbs 9oz when discharged from the hospital and 7lbs 5oz when born) and is now 20in long (19in at birth). Very exciting!
