One Week Old



Zia is a growing munchkin!  When the midwives weighed her at one week, she'd already gained back all of her birth weight... and then some :)  Unfortunately, all of that munchin seems to have brought on an oversupply of milk, something she is less than pleased with this week (gulp, gulp, choke, gasp!)  Her sleep is still a little wonky (day, night, whatever;), but she is the cuddliest little baby and I keep promising her that everything will fall into place in another week or two :)

Meanwhile, her big brother is being the world's best.  Thank gawd he has The Saint, I think this aids his outlook ;)  He's spent a couple of nights here with us, but the vast majority of his time is spent playing with Grams and sleeping over at her house.  Honestly, I miss him terribly, but would be pretty worthless to him right now, so I'm thrilled he will look back on this time as a happy blur of games and sleepovers instead of shitty diapers and a weak Mama!  Nevertheless, I think he's still pretty jazzed about gaining a sibling.  He excitedly introduced his buddies next door to his baby sister the other day and I overheard him telling them how much he loves her :)
