And Baby Makes Six!

We are loving every minute of having a newborn once again in our home!  I always forget what a wonderful time it is to have a tiny new baby around!  I love newborns!  It's so sad they have to grow up!

 I want to write a few things for my own record, so if you aren't interested, you certainly don't have to read it.

Oakley had her first doctor's appointment on Tuesday, and she weighed 8 lbs 8 oz, so she lost a little more after leaving the hospital ( she was 8. 10 at discharge), but we had to go back today to check her bilirubin levels and she is now gaining back and weighed 8. 10. Her bili count was 16 on Tuesday, but went down a little to 15 today, so we think she's in the clear.  

So far she is a great baby, crying when she's hungry, and loving to be cuddled.  She sleeps all day through endless screams and squeals!  She is sleeping really well at night most nights.  Last night we were up twice, but the three nights before that only once a night.  Night before last she slept from 11- 5!  I feel more rested now than I did when I was pregnant! I'm sure we will run into some sleep hurdles in the near future, but I will enjoy this great sleep pattern while we have it!

 Daddy and Oakley enjoying some cuddles her first day home from the hospital.

 We sure loved having this SuperGrandma here for a few days!

 Oakley did not love her first bath!

 We talked Parker into holding her this one time!  Now whenever we ask him if he wants to hold her, he says, "no, I already held her once"

 Kaeson ALWAYS wants to hold her!  He is my little helper at home!  I told him i was going to take a shower the other day, and he told me, "Ok. I will take good care of the baby, Mom"

Macie trying to help Oakley stop crying!  She's a little more help than I need most of the time!

 Disclaimer: I promise I fix Macie's hair!  It seems every time we take pictures, it's early in the morning when we haven't finished getting everyone dressed, or right before bed when there is nothing left of her done up hair!

I may be a bit biased, but I think she is one beautiful baby!
