First Week Home

We are settling in at home and loving every minute with our little one. We are so in love with Anna, I've never experienced a feeling like this. We are learning to get to know one another and she truly changes every day. Thus far, Anna has been a very happy baby - she nurses like a champ and has been sleeping fairly well throughout the night. I am feeling better with each day - a HUGE thank you to my Mom who has been a great help. Greg ended up going back to work Wednesday so my Mom has been coming over early in the morning hours and helping throughout the day. It has allowed me to get my rest and build my energy back up. Yesterday, Anna had her first week appt with Dr. Bergstein. Everything looks great and she was a healthy 8lbs (hopefully by Sunday she will be back to her birth weight). Today, we had our first outing - walking and having lunch at Oh Yumm, followed by stopping at the Flying Cupcake and Kids Ink shopping for books for Anna. We've been very spoiled this week by family and friends who have been bringing us delicous dinners and wonderful visits. We're looking forward to introducing Anna to all our family and friends! Here are some pictures from the past week.
