And the mama speaks at last
Fyew! What a crazy and amazing 2.5 weeks it has been! Our lovely little lady is doing so well…I thought I would give you an update :) (For the readers who are guys out there, these are probably details that you’re not so interested in, but I have a feeling some of the gals will get a kick out of them ;))
This week, Elena:
- got a bellybutton! Yay! (the umbilical cord stump fell off)
- slept 4 consecutive hours during “the process known as night” (what Matt calls it since it’s not necessarily sleeping or going to bed)
- has been sporting a cute little curl on the top of her head (note that this is NOT a fauxhawk, it’s a CURL)
- made the heavyweight class! At her 2 week appointment she is up to 8lbs6oz from her birth weight which the doctor was really pleased with.
- has just been an amazing little girl that her parents adore!
One thing that I have been thinking about is what awesome friends and family we have around us…we have been so grateful for phone calls and visits, meals, gifts, and help around the house…we feel totally blessed by you guys! Thank you :)
Yeah for Nancy! Keep it coming friend! I love hearing about your little lady!
Dude, isn’t that whole umbilical cord thing something you were not expecting? I know it was for me, but I was (and am) a very unexperienced mama.
But once again, it just shows me the beauty of how God created us… we go from breathing water to air in a matter of seconds and from eating through our tummies to eating through our mouths in a matter of hours… I mean seriously, you can’t make this stuff up in a sci-fi! (Plus, it is no wonder they cry and fuss and are just plain awkward for a while after they are born, :)! )
That is so awesome! I’m super excited for you all!
