One Week Old

I can't believe it's already been one week since our little Sophie was born. The week has honestly been a blur...I was telling Kris earlier that in many ways it seems like it has flown by and in other ways it seems like it's been a long time since it was just the 2 of us! The days have been filled with feedings, diaper changes and visits from grandparents. Grandma Suzie and Grandpa Glenn arrived late Thursday night and left this morning. I think they really enjoyed meeting their first grandchild and loved holding her. Little Sophie was a perfect angel during the days, and then gave her parents some work each night -- though I will say every night so far has been better and better. Last night she actually slept in her crib for 4 hours (not continuously, but please, this is still progress!).

Kris and I are starting to get the hang of things. With Grandma Robin's help, we attempted our first sponge bath. Sophie was a little unsure at first but she handled it okay and especially loved cuddling in the towel afterwards.

We are also introducing her to "tummy time." She continues to amaze us with her strength and we're convinced she'll be rolling over in no time!

It was so great having family with us all of last week. It's odd knowing that we are now on our own, without any grandparents helping us out! We do have Uncle Brandon hanging out with us for a little while until he heads off to the Airforce. I also feel incredibly lucky because Kris is home for another 2 weeks. It is such a huge help having him around while I recover and while the 3 of us adjust together. I admire every woman out there who has ever had to do this on her own. And it's been great because he's really been able to bond with Sophie.

Anyway, that's the latest update with us. I will hopefully be posting more frequently now that i'm starting to adjust and feeling better and better with each day. Hope you're all well and thanks again to all of you for your well wishes and support!
