4 weeks!

Yesterday, Autumn Marie turned 4 weeks old! She had a pediatrician appointment and all is well thankfully :) She now weighs 8.2 pounds which was a wonderful surprise to us, as she weighed 6.12 pounds two weeks ago at her last appointment. We do not go back to the doctors for another month, and she will get some shots at the next visit. She also gained a 1/2 inch in length. I love watching her grow and make facial expressions, and comforting her when she cries, and changing her...everything...I cannot get enough of this tiny little miracle who has lightened my heart. She amazes me everyday, and I marvel that I have this perfect little girl to hold in my arms. In fact I always find it very hard to put her down (or sleep!) cause I just do not want to let her go. I don't know how to leave her or separate from her. I guess some would call that "normal", but I really don't care what they call it, I just want to be with her and not miss a thing! I've decided I will learn how to do that in my own good time and will take everything as it comes day by day, I refuse to rush myself.

Eventually I will write her birth story. I am very very very grateful to my husband that he had his head together (I think?!) on her birthday and video'd the entire thing, so I can watch it forever and remember all of those little details (and learn the ones that I couldn't see myself!). The video he took is so amazing and it makes me tear up thinking about it.

Enjoy some pics below :) Love, Nan xxxooo

Totally In Love

I know I've been a bad blogger and I want to write soooo so much, but there is no time, which is a good thing :) I will update when I can, but for now, I have some photos to share!



Autumn's 2nd week of life entailed a few more winks of sleep, lots of playing dress up (attempting, anyhow!), and of course, lots of love:

Autumn's 3rd week of life has been very eventful, she lost her cord (has an inn-ey belly button!) and had her first bath, and we do lots of tummy time so she can learn to lift her head on her own. We also have had a steady flow of visitors and they all love her:

Hope everyone is well. Love, Nan xxxooo
