First Days at Home

Here's a picture of Natalie before we left the hospital. We thought this outfit might be too small for her, but she was still swimming a bit!


We've had a good couple of days at home with Natalie. She's wakes up every 2 - 3 hours to eat and stays awake for 5 or 10 minutes and then goes back to napping. Tonight she surprised us by staying awake for about an hour! It was nice to see her eyes for a while. Here's some pictures from today:






We gave Natalie her first bath on Tuesday. She didn't really like the water - she screamed the whole time. She definitely has some curl to her hair when it is wet!



Picture with Daddy after her bath:


She had her first visit to the pediatrician yesterday. The Dr. says everything looks good. She weighed in at 7lbs 1oz, which is an ounce higher than when we left the hospital, so her weight is on the rise now. She should be back at birth weight by the time we go for her next appointment a week from Friday.

I love to see her eyes open so much! These pictures are precious. Wish I could sneak away this weekend to see her pretty face but this weekend it's just not going to happen. Glad to hear all is well...give her kisses from Auntie Patty!
