1 Month!

Can our little angel seriously be a month old today!?  

Awe, her headband looks like a toupee - whoops!

Happy 1 month to our daughter!

Mom this is for the birds...are we done yet!?

With Daddy

Weight: 8lbs 11.5 ounces (50th percentile)
Length/Height: 21.25 inches (50th percentile)
Clothing: Newborn
Diapers: Newborn
Feeding: Nursing every 1.5-3 hours during the day and between 5-8 hours at night
Night time Sleep: Shockingly she has been "sleeping through the night" recently!  Our night time routine has been go up between 7:30-9PM do bath (sometimes bath with Mommy, sometimes sponge bath), lotion/massage, pajamas, then we either do bottle with Daddy or nursing with Mommy half way, we swaddle and change dipey if we need to in between and then finish eating.  She loves her sound machine with the "womb" sound and all lights and TV have to be off, she is her Mommy's daughter!  The other night we all slept from 9:45PM-6:25AM but most nights she sleeps from 9:30PM-5AM, either way we are ecstatic with all the sleep we are getting so early in the game (for now anyways)!
Updates: Miss B loves tummy time, I think it helps with all the gas bubbles, she can even hold her little head up.  She also loves laying on our tummy's and looking up at us, we love it too!  She has been doing great with going places, and falls asleep everytime in the carseat, we even got to go see Auntie Q and Auntie Katie's cheerleading practice.  I think we went through a growth spurt yesterday because she ate every hour-hour and a half and was fussy fussy!  Thankfully she was back to normal today!  


We sure do love this little missy, we really couldn't be luckier!  

A quick little update - I am feeling much better, although still a little sore all around.  I am also pretty excited, I ended up gaining 34 pounds but I have lost all but 8 pounds so far.  I tried on a pair of my jeans and they fit but they are still a little to tight to be comfortable.  Hopefully those 8 pounds are gone ASAP and I am back to myself by the 6 week check up!

Week 3 & 4 - 1/3-1/20

This post is long overdue but goodness have we been busy with a growing little girl!  Brae and I have also been passing a little stuffy nose back and forth but we seem to be clearing up, just in time for Uncle Adam and Auntie Mana's visit TONIGHT :)!  Since she is a month old and I will be posting that in a few too I won't focus on that but instead the past couple weeks. 

Miss B and Mommy have been having lots of fun together, even while we were sick (excuse the lovely look, this was a picture to tell Daddy I had a temperature).

We have also been doing lots of sleeping, I love her sleepy smiles.

Excuse my chest, I didn't know we would be doing a photo shoot :)

We have been loving our swing, she even fell asleep in the swing, and our tummy time mat (thanks Nikki).

We got to introduce the bottle and Daddy gave her the first one!

One more of our little angels pretty smile!

40 Weeks

Here was our 40 week, estimated due date, pictures!

Week 1 & 2 - 12/20-1/3

So I was going to just do monthly posts and maybe after this first month I will, but I feel like there are so many things I want to update on - so many firsts my little Angel is having that I am not documenting!  Here is the recap of our first weeks together:

Once we got to the recovery suite we had lots of visitors, Grandma & Grandpa Camire, Aunt Qui and Kate, Great Grandma & Poppy Camire and Great Aunt Cathy & Great Uncle Shawn.  Before though we got her all alone for her first snuggles with us, those were the best! 

We loved the hospital and had wonderful nurses who helped Daddy with a first - he got to change his and Braelyn's first diaper (there was a little "blow" out :))

We celebrated her first Holiday with Grandma, Grandpa, Qui and Katie.  Since she was born on the 1st day of Hanukkah she was our very best gift!  Thank you Grandma and Grandpa for Braelyn's very own menorah! 

We had her first car seat ride home - what an adventure that was.  Daddy braved the snow storm and rush hour traffic to get us home safe and sound.

Once we got  home we had our first at home visitors, Tim & Kristi and Alex & Diana.  Too bad Mommy wasn't thinking and didn't get pictures!  "Nonnie" Nancy also came in to visit for a bit.  In between some naps and getting used to her new house we had her first Dr's appointment (also her 2nd and 3rd).

Daddy learning to syringe feed Braelyn for our supplementing schedule

We celebrated a couple more holiday's with our family and friends, Braelyn had to dress for the occasions!

First picture with Parker!

Fist pumping in the new year :)

Before her first week was over we had her Hebrew naming ceremony at home with our family and friends.

Whew what a first couple weeks, after that we needed a nap!
