Getting to Know You

We've been parents for 13 days now. So far, so good! It's been a lot of fun getting to know this little munchkin... All her mannerisms, faces, cries, hunger cues, etc. She has quite the personality already!

She makes the FUNNIEST faces, and when she's hungry she holds her fists up to her face and shakes her head side to side. We call it the woodchuck. :)

She's a pretty good sleeper, although we have been having some issues with gas, which makes her a little unhappy. But other than that, she hasn't been a big crier at all.

Derek was off all last week so we could figure out the start of life as a family of three, and when he went back to work on Monday my mom came up to stay a few nights and help me. She's leaving today, so now the real test begins! 

It really has been a wonderful almost two weeks. Even with the fussiness and the lack of sleep, when she curls up on my chest and cuddles or smiles (even though I know it's just because she has gas!) it makes it all worth it.

Pure love.
