Charlotte's First Week





Wow! No one can prepare you for parenthood! You love this little baby, but you're just not sure if you're going to survive! I quickly learned why it is so important to sleep when the baby sleeps, you never know when she will sleep again --- and it could be a while!

We had wonderful help the first two weeks! My parents came to stay for a week, my brother and his family came for a day trip, Adam's parents came for the 2nd week and his sister and brother-in-law came for a weekend! Our house was full, but we wouldn't have had it any other way! We couldn't have done it without all the help or without all the meals provided by friends! Thank you again and again!

PS - Bella is doing great with Charlotte! She was my little nurse-maid, joining me in the nursery for every feeding (even in the middle of the night)! At this point in the game (when I thought I'd never leave the nursery, much less the house) I considered making her a doggy bed to match the nursery decor! Luckily we get out now, so Bella can choose from her 5 other beds scattered throughout the house instead : )
