One Week

Today Charlette is a week old. It has went by so fast. I can't imagine how fast a month will come and then a year. We are just enjoying every moment and every little thing she does. She is doing good at night. Last night I was up every two hours. That was GOOD! She gets hungry and Joe just can't fiil that need. He does the diapers though. We are probably going to create a monster with the amount we hold her but it is so hard to put her down when we are just sitting around. She is so snuggly and cute we just can't help ourselves.

We had her first doctor appointment yesterday. It went very good. She weighed 8lbs 13oz when born. When we left the hospital she weighed 8lbs 5oz and yesterday she weighed 8lbs 11oz. Her doctor said that they are happy if they get back to their birth weight by two weeks and by the rate she is going she will be past her birth weight this next week. It is good o know she is getting enough to eat. Her eye is doing better she is almost done with her eye drops. Doctor said she is perfectly healthy. He also yelled at Joe and I for not going on a date. In the hospital he told us to go on a date in the first week because if we can leave her while she is this young we won't have problems in the future. I guess it makes sense but even if we wanted to leave her I think we would rather just take a nap.

Yesterday was her first day out and about. We also made a trip to Meijer. She was awake almost the whole time. She slept good when we got home. I was worried she woukd be up all night but she did good. It is very different taking a baby with you everywhere. Different in a good way. She decided she was hungry in the doctors office and after we left the store. I guess that is the good thing about breast feeding, you always are ready to feed her, whenever and whereever you are.

Anyway, we are all good and Charlette's Grandma Traci will be home tomarrow. We are so excited and can't wait for them to meet eachother.
