2 weeks!

It's hard to believe it has already been 2 weeks since Mila was born.  I have already noticed some changes in her appearance since we brought her home :)

So far we are all adjusting well to life as a family of 4.  The first couple nights home were rough as Mila's sleep patterns were a little off but the last couple nights she has been sleeping fairly well, waking about every 3-4 hours to feed.  She is like her brother in that she does not like her arms swaddled, needs to have them above her head when she sleeps.  Her usual schedule during the day is to eat about every 2 hours and then sleep :)  Lately though she likes to sleep on mom instead of being put down. 

We have her newborn pictures scheduled for tomorrow so hopefully baby girl cooperates :)  Here are a few photos that we took ourselves within the first week.

 This pictures she looks exactly like Hudson!

 

My baby girl & I :)

Proud Big Brother

I was a little worried on how Hudson would adjust to his new role as big brother but so far he has been amazing with Mila.  He absolutely loves his little sister and is always concerned about where she is and what she is doing. He was a little hesitant about holding her the first day but Tuesday he was ready :)

Holding sister for the first time

Happy to have mom, dad, and sister home

Love them!

She's here!

 

Mila Grace Weingartz arrived on Monday July 29, 2013 at 9:14 AM, weighing 7 lbs 6 oz, 19 inches long!

What a difference this delivery was for myself.  With Hudson there was complications so a C-section was performed, however, since I did not have an epidural I had to be put under general anesthesia.  I don't recall anything until about 3 hours after he was born.

This time around the staff at Mayo Clinic made sure her delivery was much more memorable.  I did need to have another C-section but this one was scheduled and everything went very smoothly.  

Since she was born early Monday morning, Hudson was able to come down and see his baby sister for the first time.  When he woke up Monday morning he told Nana "I see baby sister".

Seeing sister for the first time.

 Checking her out

We had all sorts of visitors Monday and Tuesday which made the hospital stay a little better :)  Baby sister did not have a name for two days but finally we decided on her name Wednesday morning.  Luckily we were able to go home Wednesday morning vs. Thursday morning as both Mila & myself were recovering well. Now we are adjusting to life as a family of 4 :)

She's stolen our hearts! <3
