Woa! What is going on here?
Daddy/daughter time.
Ollie is checking Olivia out.
The Queen is on her throne!
Mommy and Olivia hanging out.Wow! I can't believe that we have been parents for a month already. Slowly it feels like we are figuring out what needs to be done, how to do it, and learning about Olivia. A routine is beginning to emerge and we are becoming more comfortable in our new roles. Chris has gone back to work and he is learning how to work on minimal sleep. Olivia and I are enjoying our time together. Here's a look at our typical day: change a diaper (and outfit if necessary), take a bottle, have a nap, repeat. If we are lucky, there may be some awake time after a bottle and before a nap. Our house definitely has the "lived in" look! I am also functioning on minimal sleep, but I am learning to relax/sleep whenever Olivia is sleeping. Hence why things rarely get done around the house.
Our 2 week check up went really well. The doctor wanted to make sure that Olivia was back up to her birth weight by this appointment. She now weighs 7 lbs. 10 oz. When the doctor mentioned this, I looked from Olivia to Chris to myself and said to the the doctor, "Obviously eating is not a problem for this family." It appears Olivia is developing well and we and the doctor have no concerns for her at this time. Our next appointment will be in February where she will receive her first immunizations. Thankfully Chris will be there for that one!
Olivia and I are beginning to get out of the house more. We've been to church (which she thankfully sleeps through!), met a friend for lunch, and have gone out shopping. It's great getting out of the house and Olivia does well traveling. It does me good getting out too versus just being a home body.
Even though this month has been full of difficult adjustments, we wouldn't trade this for anything in the world. Parenting is definitely the hardest job that one could ever love. We hope you enjoy the new pictures we've posted and soon there will be Olivia's one month pictures (courtesy of Fallen Leaf Studios).

Hi new parents! Glad to see the latest photos. I have been checking almost daily to see new ones (forgetting what it is like to be new parents). Getting a shower in is a major accomplishment, forget about blogging! Glad to hear you are venturing out of the house and seeing friends. Wish we didn't live so far away. We send our love!
