Christmas 2010

We are alive! Our little girl is already 11 days old! She is doing so awesome at home. We are all having a blast, even Leyla! We dropped Grandma Connelly off at the airport yesterday which was really sad. She helped us out so much the first week we were home. We now have a freezer full of meals ready to go! A couple of days before Christmas, we had to say good bye to Dax's mom and dad. I know it was hard for them to leave their first grand baby!! Both Grandmas will be back to visit in a couple of months!

We have started to establish a routine now that all our guest have gone home (as much as you can with a newborn) and she is responding well. She is sleeping 4 hour spans at night, sometimes more when mommy doesn't wake up! Daddy Dax is so helpful to me and Harlow, it has been such a blessing to have him home with us. Most mommies would have to say good bye to their husbands at this point in time. We are lucky enough to have a whole month together! We plan on just hanging out and spending time getting to know Harlow. We have our 2 week pedi appointment on Thursday where we will see if Harlow has gained enough weight to return to her birth weight of 8 lb 3 oz. Since she barely fits in her newborn outfits, we are guessing that she has!

A little bit about Harlow:

She loves to be swaddled with her arms to her sides when she sleeps
She is starting to calm to the sound of my voice (PRECIOUS!!)
She will be visiting the chiropractor today for her first adjustment!
She actually likes her sponge bath!
She always poops when she eats, usually right after a clean diaper change
She has pooped and peed on Daddy two times now!

I'm coming back later to add pictures and video but the little one is waking up now!!
