Well, we have survived the first week of Evelyn's life. It has had its share of ups and downs as any new adventure has. Parenthood is DEFINITELY a new adventure and one that I truly believe that God has given me the strength, peace and knowledge to get through.
Evelyn is up to a minimum of 2 ounces of formula at every feeding and sometimes 3 ounces. She has taken to the bottle a lot better than she ever did breastfeeding and is a good little eater. We also have had our share of baby messes, including feet being placed in it (EWWWW). By no means are Mike and I perfect parents but we are doing our best in trying to care for this little angel.
Evelyn got to watch Star Wars movies with me on Saturday so we are already teaching her how to be a geek. She also has watched a couple Chicago Cubs baseball games with me. In fact I was trying to change her during the last inning of the game today and she decided to roll onto her side and not stay on her back. It was like she was trying to see last little bit of game. (I know that isn't the case but that is what it seemed like).
She loves the little infant/toddler rocker that we have for her. She enjoys it both as a rocker and as a bouncer and has taken a couple naps in it. She is such a cutie in her rocker waving her arms and legs when we first put her in it. Definitely a perfect purchase.
In my mind, Evelyn also hit a milestone today. The stump from her umbilical cord fell off tonight nearly exactly 1 week from when she was born. (about 1 hour too early) The sight looks terrific and no sign of any infection.
I am so blessed to have such a beautiful little girl. I never imagined how much love I could have inside me. I just want to share her with the world, too bad my energy levels are lagging at the moment. Oh well I can share her soon enough.
