First Week Home

I made the decision to give up fried foods and sugary drinks for Lent. I am really missing Starbucks, let me tell you. Even though Evie is sleeping like a champ, a grande Iced Caramel Macchiato sounds like heaven.

What I know about Evie:

Likes bath time

Dislikes having her diaper changed most of the time

Likes being cuddled and snuggled

Dislikes the fact that she cannot keep her paci in her mouth

Likes bottles. Gulps and makes those sweet cooing noising during feeding

Likes being with you, hearing your voice and seeing your face

Usually only wakes up once in the middle of the night for about 45 minutes

Likes spa time (lotion and hair)

What I know about Stephen:

Eager to help

Primary target when Evie does not have a diaper on

Loves skin-to-skin contact with Evie, doesn't like to put her down :)

Sleeps really well with the monitor on

What I know about myself:

Do not fall sleep well with with the monitor on, still adjusting

Can function on little sleep, but it jacks my stomach

Need to learn to sleep when Evie sleeps

Enjoy talking and reading to Evie

What I know about our family:

We have never loved like this before. It is indescribable!
