Adventures of a One Week Old

Wow have we had some adventures in the last couple of days! The doctor's appointment was just the beginning....

It was insanely hot on Tuesday, so we kept cool in the house. We took a day or so to completely eliminate bottles from Abby's diet. While we were at the hospital, she was showing signs of being Jaundiced. Because of that, they gave us some Similac in bottles to keep her extra hydrated. It's much easier to eat from a bottle than from a breast. The doctor told us explicitly on Monday - no more bottles! It took some convincing, but we've got Abby on board now.

Wednesday was nice out, so we obviously chose to go to the mall! Just a quick trip into the real world to get a couple of things we need. While Anny was trying on a new shirt, Abby got fussy and began to smell.... Yep. With mommy and Nana tied up, it was time for a poopy diaper change! Having left the diaper bag in the car, I whisked her away to change said daiper. Yum.

I did enjoy walking around the mall with her in our sling. I kept hearing "aw, how cute" from folks old enough to know there was a baby on my belly. Stupid teenagers, though, did not realize what it was, so I had to keep her head protected in the pet store.

Here is a picture from yesterday. I call it Yeah dad, that's my smelly diaper for you!

And that's just some of what we have done this week!

Darlings, we have to talk. Your daughte is so incredibly incredibly cute (even if she did cry when I got to hold her) and one of the first pix is of her sticking her tongue out? Just wait till she's a teenager; she'll get you for this.
