About Me

My photo
We are extremely blessed! J and I have been happily married for 4 years and continue to grow and learn more about each other everyday(you would think after knowing each other for over 15 years there wouldn't be anything else to learn)!! Josh is currently a submarine officer in the Navy. We just finished up our shore duty in Monterey, CA and SOAC(dept.head school) in Groton, CT and are now living in Virginia for a short while where Josh is the ENG on the Tennessee. We will be moving to Georgia with in the next year and couldn't be more excited! While Josh is busy on the submarine I am busy raising our two sweet little girls Adah and Michaela! We love being parents and watching our sweet baby girls grow, change, and learn each day! Can't forget about our first "children"...our crazy cats Izzy and Ollie! We have been blessed with the best friends and family in the world. We can't wait to see what God has in store for us in the coming years!

One week!

Our little beauty is one week old today!  We never thought that she would have been here before her due date which is today...hard to believe!  We love her so much....she makes us laugh with her many cute/funny faces and her ever so gassy self.  

A few things about Adah:

- sleeps great during the day but not at night
- loves to make many many faces
- loves to sleep on mommy
- loves to look at daddy
- HATES her hands swaddled down
- always has her hands in her face
- hates to have her diaper changed
- loves bath time
- she lost her umbilical cord today
- loves to sleep in her bouncy seat with the calming vibration on
- eats every 2-3 hours....more on the 2 hour side

We are so loving getting to know our little girl and Josh and I could just stare at her for hours!  We are however more tired than we could have ever imagined!  She had her first doctors appointment this past Saturday and is doing good!  Her head is rounding out great and she is still at 7lbs 14oz which is what she left the hospital weighing...the doctor thinks she lost more and is now gaining.  We have one week from today to get her back up to her birth weight...I don' think we will have any problem doing that...she is an eating champion!

Thats all I have time for now....

Enjoy these few pictures:

This is what she looks like right after a feeding.....

Adah is such a precious angel! I just can't wait to hold her and kiss her! It's such an overwhelming feeling looking at her and realizing that she is part of me! Amanda, I hope you're feeling better and are able to get some rest.

Congratulations!! Adah is beautiful! You and Josh are doing an awesome job! I can remember it took me about a month before I posted anything on my blog - I never had the energy or motivation to do that during my free time from Evie. You are already a pro! I was very excited to see Adah has hair - she must have known about all of the cute bows waiting for her! : ) Can't wait to see more pictures.

She is precious! I'm loving the picture after the bath, she is so alert! I know what you mean about not wanting the hands swaddled, not long and she won't want to be wrapped up at all!! Hope you are doing well!

Are you going to keep the cord? If so I think you are sick.

Rachel said...
