The First Week of Gracie!

Wow! Today, our little angel is officially 1 week old!! This has been a very eventful week, and both Stephen and I can easily say that this has been the absolute best week of our lives!! We are so blessed to have such a wonderful baby. She sleeps a lot!! Sometimes stretches of more than 4 hours at a time, she has taken to breast-feeding easily, and only really cries when she is hungry or pooping. She koos and caa's, and just melts our hearts when she makes any facial change like yawning, puckering her lips... even crying she looks just so adorable. She has us wrapped around her finger. Right now Stephen and I are taking shifts with her, she is up mostly at night between 9-1, so I will feed her, go to bed and that is Daddy time, when she is hungry again Stephen will wake me up and then go to bed. I feed her, then sleep, feed her, then sleep... her best sleep is from 6-10 am, which is really nice for mama, who

can catch up on some Z's!Here is a look on how this week has been for us:

First, lots of visitors at the hospital:

Our good friends (and soon to be neighbors) Juan, Shelly and Baby Olivia in our room....

Gracies Godmother Amy came and stayed a while:

We then made it out of the hospital... so nervous and excited about taking her home and start a real life as a real family!

Then when we got home, mama went to bed, and daddy wanted to hold the baby... I woke up to find this super cute scene of both daddy and Gracie passed out!
