1 Week Old!

Violet is now 1 week old! I can't believe it's already been a week! We are having so much fun with her. I have been totally loving dressing her up each day and matching her headbands to all her outfits. I pretty much take a picture everyday because she always just looks so darn cute. Oh the joys of having a little girl! I am now obsessed with anything pink, sparkly and bedazzled or glittered. It's funny how I dress her all up and then we rarely leave the house! Must be a new mom thing! Anyways, Violet had her first checkup and everything was great. She lost about 5 oz which is normal. Her weight and head size are average and her height is a little above average. She is a long baby! But everything looked good and she is as healthy as can be. I think she will be a little chunk in no time, the girl can eat. I swear she eats 15 times a day. I think its helping her sleep better though, she has been sleeping for 3 hour durations at night now. It seems to be getting pretty consistent too, feed at 9pm, sleep till 12:30, feed again, sleep till 4:30, feed again, sleep till 7:30. Finally I have been getting some sleep which makes me one happier mommy. The only place she will sleep is in one of her 2 swings or in my arms so I hope they make swings for 4 year olds cuz I can't see her sleeping anywhere else! Justin has been home all week helping out, I will be sad to see him go back to work on Monday. An extra set of hands makes all the difference right now! We sure are enjoying the learning the ropes of being parents!
