1 week of parenthood

So, we've had Miss Addison for a full week now! Where does the time go? She is already starting to pick her head up and when laying on Daddy's chest, tends to turn it from left to right and then crash it down. She's a HUGE sleeper! Which is good at night, but I have already developed the habit of waking up every hour or so to make sure she's still breathing! This is definitely the hardest thing I have ever taken on, but it is so worth her silly smiles after eating (she's probably just passing gas) and seeing those big blue/gray eyes everyday.

We had our first check up today and she has gained 9 oz since we came home from the hospital! She may sleep hard like her Daddy, but she got her weight gaining gene from Mommy! Good news for Mommy is that I don't have to constantly try to wake her up every 2-3 hours to eat! She can go 4-5 now and wake up hungry instead of falling asleep while trying to eat. Good news if we can get her to be sleeping those 4-5 hours when it's nice and dark outside!

This first week also brought her first bath. I was scared she would hate it, but she actually didn't seem to mind. It went by pretty uneventful, but Daddy got some awesome pictures from it.

FYI to all breastfeeding moms out there: Don't believe what you read about babies going through 6-10 diapers a day! I think Addison is averaging 13-15!!! She has a habit of filling one right after we snap the last button on her onesie! It happens to Daddy most of the time, but it has occured with me more than once. You just have to laugh...I mean, what else can you do?
