Adjusting To Our New Life

Avery Elizabeth is 1 Week Old

Our little Angel is 1 week old. At her first doctor's appointment she weighted 6lbs and 3oz. She also measured at 19.25 inches (0.25 inches longer than at birth, but I think the nurse may have stretched her so much she grew).  Because she's not back up to her birth weight we will have another visit in a week. She loves to eat and sleep and is only awake for cuddle/play time for about 2 hours total a day.  We started out on a 2 hour sleep/eat schedule and have now made our way up to 4 hours. This has been great for Andrew's and my beauty sleep. Her newborn clothes are still fitting a little big but I'm sure she will grow into them soon!




Practice Makes Perfect
We all know that the more you practice the better you'll get at what ever the task may be. Well Andrew has gotten a head start training for our Half Marathon this summer. He's been practicing running with the BOB stroller. Considering Avery is too small for the BOB, the stroller seat is empty. Although he's received a few questionable looks around the neighborhood and funny comments ("Looks like you forgot somebody."), he's determined to push the baby in the stroller for our first family marathon! Keep up the good work Love!
