Week One

October 13, 2011- October 20, 2011

Our first week of parenting went much better than we expected! People always tell you how big of a nightmare the newborn stage is but we were pleasantly surprised.

Brinlee woke up about every 2-3 hours to eat and have her diaper changed. She rarely cries and sleeps a lot.

 She is a good with being in public since we've gone out to eat and to Target a few times.

My husband has been such a trooper and has been a tremendous help. He always said he would not change diapers but he changed her first one and almost every diaper since then. Fortunately he is off for 2 weeks to spend time with our girl.

We just sit here and stare at her all the time.

My mom was able to fly in while I was in labor and is here for the week which is great! She has been helping around the house and making sure we have dinner and of course snuggling with the baby!

Here are some pictures from her first week:
