1 Week Old

Wow! Hard to believe an entire week has passed already! As for me, I feel GREAT! I'd say I feel about 90-95% "normal". No heart burn, no acid reflux, no constant bathroom trips, minimal backaches and I actually feel rested! Brooke is a GREAT sleeper and is kind enough to give me anywhere from 4-6 hours of straight sleep at night (way more than I was getting)!

On Thursday, Auntie Aunt Jean came out to visit and meet Brooke for the first time. She took us to the pediatrician for Brooke's first visit. Everything about her checked out perfect, she is already getting A+'s! We have to go back this week, for 1 more check-up to make sure she is packing on the pounds accordingly.

Brooke and I had her first monthly photo shoot. We plan on doing this every month, so we can watch how she grows... I wonder how many months until she makes the monkey look small?

Brooke also got to experience her 1st bath given by Daddy... Daddy did a super job and Brooke did AWESOME! You can be the judge from the pictures below of who did a better job... Brooke's first bath at the hospital or her first bath with Daddy.
