Week One!!

Week One, went way to fast. We started to get adjusted to having a newborn in the house and we went to our first pediatrician appointment. Dr. B told us we were doing a great job. Harper weighed 5 lbs 8 oz when we were discharged and at the first appointment she weighed 5 lbs 15 oz. Wow that's a lot of weight in 3 days. GO MOM :) The breastfeeding has been the biggest challenge I have ever faced so knowing that it was paying off was a huge relief. I feel like Harper is changing so much everyday. I think she looks more like her dad everyday. So a few things I noticed in the first week are

1. Her cheeks are getting bigger!
2. She loves to be rocked in her rocking chair.
3. Loves when mom lets her snuggle at night.
4. Loves when daddy plays her music.
5. None of her newborn clothes FIT( all that shopping , nothing to wear.) :)
6. Likes the fan , and when daddy walks her around the house.

Harper also had the chance to meet her great-grandparents for the first time. How awesome to see how much they love her and see the 4 generations of girl's together. And the last thing we did our first week together was take our newborn photos. Erica drove out and spent 3 hours getting the perfect pictures. Harper would not sleep and we tried everything. She is going to be one stubborn girl, just like her momma. We are still waiting to get those back but we received a little sneak peak which I LOVE.
Everyday I am so grateful to have her in our lives. It's amazing how much love we have for her already and we are just getting to know each other. So here are just a few pictures out of hundreds taken in week 1 ...
