Already a Week Old!

Robert and I can't believe that Emma is already a week old. Everything is going well. She is a good baby that really only seems to cry for a purpose. That being said, we have had a handful of sleep less nights! Robert and I took turns with these, but next week it will just be me. We are both sad that he has to go back to work next week. I could cry just thinking about it! (I'm sure that is also the hormones also!)

We have had a busy week full of visitors, doctor's appointment, and Emma's first photo shoot.

The doctor's appointments went well. She does have a slight case of jaundice, so we had to get more labs done and went back to the doctor today for a weight check. The labs were on the border, so we will give her some vitamin D drops and put her by the window for some sun bathing. On her first doctor's appointment she weighed 7 lbs 5 oz, and today she was 7 lbs 7 oz. The doctor's would have liked her to gain one more once, but weren't too concerned about it. Next time, I think we will give her her bottle BEFORE the appointment!

Emma got to play model yesterday for her newborn pictures. The pictures were all done with her naked, so we had a couple of bathroom issues. Those aside, the session went great and we can't wait to see the pictures. Carie did a sneak peek for us on her blog. You can check it out HERE. Emma's is the second picture in the post.

Here are some pictures of what has happened this week. I have to warn you though, we have taken lots of pictures, and I couldn't just post a couple. Enjoy!

She loves her pacifier!

She is a little small still for the bouncer!

Taking a nap with mom and dad

Jessica and Sophia came over to say hi. Emma had the same outfit that Sophia had on, so we couldn't resist dressing Emma in it and taking some pictures. Sophia is 2 weeks old and Emma is 4 days old. By the looks of this picture, those numbers should be reversed! I am sure this will be the first of many play dates!
