Our 1st week at Home

We have really enjoyed our 1st week at home with Avery. Ted has been home all week, and we are adjusting really well to life with a baby. We have had lots of visitors and plenty of good food, so it has been really nice. Ted will return to work tomorrow, so we'll see how that goes. I am feeling really good... a little tired and a little sore, but nothing too bad. Nursing is going great, Avery is a good eater, so hopefully she will continue to grow! It appears that our bilirubin and temperature issues have resolved, so that's good. She will go for her 2 week newborn check-up on Friday morning, so we'll see how she has progressed. I'm hoping that she will be well over 6 pounds by then. She is still wearing preemie clothes, but hopefully we'll be moving to newborn soon. It's funny how I almost didn't even by newborn clothes, and now we've needed both preemie and newborn stuff! I never imagined having such a little baby... But she's doing great, so I couldn't ask for anything more. She is such a good baby, we are truely blessed. Here are a few new pictures from this week. Enjoy!
