One Week

Alice is one week old today! She had her first doctor's appointment this morning and is looking great. She is up to 6 lbs 4 oz, so almost back to her birth weight. Not much of a surprise, because she really likes to eat. Last night was a little rough, as she was up every hour or hour and a half to eat. But, she has slept a lot today so mommy and daddy were able to get a nap in.

I have been feeling pretty good. My incision hasn't hurt too badly, just a little difficult to stand/sit up sometimes. The medication helps a lot though :) My feet and hands are a still a little swollen, but not anywhere near as bad as they were when I was pregnant. The doctor said it may take a couple of weeks to return to normal. I can't wait. The swollen-ness was one of the hardest parts about being pregnant. It will be nice to be able to wear shoes again!

Lon has been great with Alice and is now a master diaper-changer. In fact, I think I have changed one diaper and he has done the rest. I am going to miss him when he has to go back to work. It is a little difficult at times, but I think we are both adjusting to having this little person around.
