Our First Week

We can't believe it has almost been a whole week since little Emma was born. Time sure seems to fly by. We have to constantly remind ourselves what day it is because the days go by so quickly but are pretty much filled with the exact same things. Emma eats, sleeps, and cries and we eat, don't sleep, and cry as well.:) We are actually doing relatively well on how much sleep we are not getting. It is actually a little bit harder to function when we actually do get adequate sleep because then our bodies realize what crazy schedules we're working on. Mike has been an amazing help. He is doing all of the housework, plus helping me with the baby. He is a wonderful dad and I don't know what I would do without him. I would be a wreck. Emma is doing great. She is so cute and such a good baby. She usually only cries when she is hungry, but wow she has some pipes on her. The nursing staff even commented on how strong her lunges were. I hope our neighbors don't decide to move.:) She also has this funny squeal cry and she sounds just like a little piglet. She had her first doctors appointment yesterday and passed with flying colors. She hasn't gained any weight, but luckily she hasn't lost any as well. She is sure wanting to eat more and more and more, so hopefully at our next weeks appointment she will have put some meat on her bones. Mike took this week off of school, but next week I will be flying solo. Aaaah I better get used to that. I have become so spoiled with all of his help. Now the real work begins. We have a great support system here in Ohio with our friends and the ward. We continue to feel very blessed. Here are a few new pictures.
