Addy's One Week Birthday

Addy's pretty blue eyes
My sweet girl
Cute feet, just want to gobble her up!
Happy Birthday to Addy, she's a week old and I can't believe how fast it has gone by. Here is how our week went. We left the hospital on the 30th of April and had some visits that I mentioned in the last post. On Thursday we just chilled out and had a relaxing day, Addy received a blanket from Aunt Roma Ann who had worked on it while we were in the hospital it is so cute. Addy spent the day being with her Grandma Ellsworth who was an immense help this week and Steph came to see the baby. On Friday we saw LaRae and Tyson and Lincoln, they were sure cute. Saturday we had our first trip out, we needed to get some things like nursing shirts for myself and so Daniel and my Mom took the trip with me, Addy did really well but I was pretty worn out and getting a headache when I got home. My Mom left early Sunday morning and we sure miss her and I cried a little when she first left because it was just a nice security blanket to have her there to make sure I wasn't screwing everything up. I slept in with Addy Sunday morning while Daniel went to church. Daniel has been awesome and it kills him to go to work because he just wants to love on his little one.
(Addy getting ready for our outing) Yesterday we had our first outing by ourselves. She had her one week check up and was amazing! The doctor said she was really healthy almost back to her birth weight already, and perfectly proportioned. We then met Daniel for lunch and then I went home again so exhausted I think I overdid it because I had a migraine all night. I feel so incredibly lucky because Adelaide is absolutely a sweet tempered baby. She's only been waking up once a night and she hardly ever cries unless her diaper is being changed or she needs to burp. She doesn't even cry when she's hungry she just starts smacking her lips loudly and making cute little noises. I love her so much and started crying the other night because I felt so blessed to have her and Daniel. Today was great I was more productive at home stuff. I made the bed, did laundry, swept and mopped the floor, and made some thank you cards, so I felt a little less like an invalid. I want to say congrats to Denise and Glenn on the arrival of their little boy, so excited for all the babies at home that we will get to meet them when we go home. Also Happy Birthday Logan! My cute nephew is getting bigger and bigger he is 6 this year and I can't believe how fast he's growing up! Anyways I'm excited for Saturday because my cousin and my sister-in-law are throwing me a shower and I can't wait to show little Addy off! Also so happy I get to be a mother this mothers day (that was her dues date so just happy she's here already) Hope everyone has a great week and had a great Cinco de Mayo! (Daddy burping her after her 1:30 a.m. feeding, he fell asleep fast and I had to pry her away from him.)

Sounds like you are adjusting well to motherhood, and it is nice that she is sleeping well at such a young age. I was pretty sad when my mom left too after my kids were born, don't worry...I have no doubts that you can do it and you won't screw anything up. You take it easy and take advantage of the moments that you can still rest!
