Things at home are going great - we are adjusting well. Together, Matt and I currently have everything under control and in order. We work great as a team and he has been incredibly helpful when I need him. Abigail has been super wonderful thus far so that helps to keep her parents happy and in order. Some amazing co-workers/friends of Matt's have been delivering meals all week for us. So nice to sit down to some wonderful food with no prep work involved. Not to mention, the food has been superb!!! I froze some meals prior to delivery and we received some other frozen meals from others, so those will be stored and put to good use in the future.
Abigail has fit right into our house - she is a very calm child (lets hope this continues). She really only cries when she is getting changed or when she has a dirty diaper. As soon as we put clothes on her or change her diaper, she is all good and ready to snuggle. Yesterday morning, her and I snuggled in the recliner for almost 2 solid hours - hard to get up when she is just so cute and sweet in your arms!! Breastfeeding is going well, we had one minor hick-up but thanks to the amazing lactation consultant at Aspirus, we are on a better track.
I know most people keep their newborns inside for the first few weeks after getting home, but once again, Matt and I don't always do what the "norm" is. Abigail has been all over already this week and she has done great! We took her to the doctor, the lactation consultant at the hospital, Target, Menards, Wal-Mart, and Mullins Cheese. She travels great on these short trips (we didn't do them all in one day) and was very content to be in her car seat in the shopping carts. Hopefully she continues to be a great traveler as we embark on longer trips in the weeks ahead.
Even though she is a week old, we have managed to move forward on the basement. Matt has all the drywall, mud / tape, and texturing done all over the basement. The second bedroom now is primed and painted. The next step will be to prime the family room and paint it. We need to pick out furniture first so that we can get paint to match, so I guess Abigail will be making her way to the furniture store shortly!!
Well, that is about all for an update today. We have her one week check with her pediatrician this afternoon, so I will post stats and info on that later this weekend or early next week.
Until next time, here are some pictures of our little sweetheart:
