First Week Home

By: Steph | Tags: , , ,

Bed Time

We’ve survived the first week! It’s definitely been a week of ups and downs (and a few breakdowns), but we’re all adjusting and hope that each day gets a little easier. The Grandmas have been such a tremendous help this past week, I’m not sure where we’d be without them. Between feeding every few hours and trying to get some rest throughout the day, I don’t seem to have much time to do anything else… Motherhood is by far the best thing I’ve ever experienced and also the hardest at the same time!

Lauren is such a good baby and sleeps most of the day- we actually have to wake her up for feedings and then she’s right back to sleep again. All of us (including Koda) just can’t help but sit and stare at this wonderful little miracle that has entered our lives.

Thanks for all of your supportive comments and notes of congrats- it’s hard to get back to each of you individually, but know that we appreciate your thoughts and well wishes. We can’t wait for you all to meet her.

    What an adorable family photo! Lauren is incredibly beautiful…I’m impressed that her parents look at least somewhat alert in the first weeks (can’t say the same for Koda!).

    I hope all continues to go well. Parenting is the best adventure ever.

    All my very best to your perfect little family…

    Awwww….you guys look just perfect. The picture is complete. Welcome to the adventure of parenting…it doesn’t get any better than this!! For all the hard parts, there are 10x more amazing, incredible, wonderful moments that make it all worth it. Hang in there…it doesn’t get any harder than those first few weeks…or maybe it does and you just always compare it to those first weeks…either way, it’s gonna get better!!! I promise!!!! She’s gorgeous and perfect…just like your little family!!!

    Love you all,
    Amy
