1 week old


I can't believe my tiny sweetie is already 1 week old! She is absolutely perfect! We had our doctor's appointment on Tuesday (her actual 1 week b-day). She weighed 7lbs 13 oz (gained 4 oz from when we left the hospital). We were told to wake her up at night & feed her (she was going 4-6 hours between feedings at night).

A few other things about Ms. Natalie Ann:
  • She is a Momma's girl
  • She loves to eat often DURING THE DAY
  • I HAVE to wake her at night to feed her
  • She loves watching/listening to big brother Cole play
  • She HATES being swaddled during the day
  • She has a dimple like Mommy, Daddy, and Cole on her chin
  • She is so much smaller than Cole...only wears Newborn clothes and diapers
  • She squeaks when she cries
  • She has a "storkbite" birthmark on her forehead between her eyes that stands out when she cries.
  • She HATES being wet or dirty
  • When you change her diaper, she will dirty it within 10 minutes.
  • She doesn't burp very easily
  • She swallowed a lot of amniotic fluid and gagged on it for a good 5 days or so
  • Pink and brown are her colors!
  • Her eyes are greenish brown...not so much blue like brother's were.
  • She sleeps in bed with Mommy for the last stretch of night (3-4am until 7 or 8ish)

Sigh...she is spoiled rotten and loved so much!
