First Days at Home

The first few days at home are under our belt now and we have learned lots of things.

Abigail has let us know what she does and does not like.
     -She does not like to sleep laying flat, she wants to be on a slight incline.
     -She does not to be naked....so changing her is sometimes a screaming and struggling match.
     -She likes to be upright and wants to hold her head up on her own.
     -She LOVES to sleep, eat, sleep, eat.
     -She calms down almost immediately when Matt holds her.
     -She loves to be swaddled tight and snug.
   
We have adjusted thus far without much of an issue.  Koda had a harder time, but he is getting TONS better with each passing day.  He is still unsure of what to do when she is crying, but other than that, he just checks on her once and a while and of course gives her kisses!!!

Sleeping was touchy the first night until we realized that she doesn't want to lay flat.  Last night (our second night home) was much better when we propped her up in her bassinet.  Matt and I were both able to sleep and I only got up 3 times to feed her.  This morning we felt like new people with energy - what a great feeling!!

We took Abigail to her first doctor/nurse weight check.  All is good there and she is doing great.  We go back on Friday for her one week appointment, so more updates to come.  While we were at her weight check, we had quite the eventful undressing of her before putting her on the scale.  Matt was taking off her diaper since she had pooped and so that they could get an accurate weight.  Well, as soon as the diaper came off, the flood gates opened - yep, she started peeing and didn't stop.  The nurse laughed at how much she went and poor Matt ended up dealing with the majority of it on his own, including a handful of pee!  Welcome to Fatherhood!

So, that has been our life the past two days.  She still sleeps a lot so we are able to get stuff done and nap when needed.  As I type this post, Matt is headed down to the basement to get some work done.  Sure can tell that we all slept good last night!!!!

Until next time, here are some new pictures of our precious Abigail.....we are so much in love, it is crazy!!

I will try my best to get some while she is awake, but no guarantees on that.
