Settling In






It's hard to believe that tomorrow my little girl will be a week old already!  I'm not going to lie, this week has been a hard one.   On the one hand I never knew I could survive off of 4 hours of sleep over a 24 hour period, but you just do.  On the other hand I have never been more amazed of our Heavenly Fathers love for us and His perfect plan.  I just can't look at this little girl without thinking of just how amazing our bodies are and how our Heavenly Father got it so perfectly right!  I just can't get enough of her!  I feel so sorry for Jordan when he has to wake up every morning to go to school and work and he doesn't get to spend every moment with her.  Granted he gets to sleep at night, so maybe it an even trade?  No, I'll take the sleep loss if that means I get to be with her!  Jordan really is a natural with her, we actually have to fight to see who gets to change her diapers!  And he just loves to hold her and cuddle with her.  I think this little girl will get anything she wants out him in the future!  
We've had a few outings already and I must say, what an ordeal to take a baby anywhere!  Today we went to a store to find a nursing bra and she started getting fussy so we parked and I fed her in the back seat, well we were in a hurry so I fed her and then burped her for a minute and then put her back in her car seat.  Not twenty seconds later the entire 2oz I had just fed her had come back up all over her and her car seat!  So we then had to change her entire outfit and clean out her car seat.  Needless, to say we only made it to one store!  Anywho, it's been fun!

She is so tiny, I assume all babies at 6 days old are. She is certainly a cute baby.
