Well, we've been parents for 2 whole weeks now. Caring for a newborn has definitely proven to be an exhausting job! Fortunately, Allie has had a few nights of pretty good sleep (4 hour stretches) and I'm getting used to sleeping less. I've also gotten better at taking care of myself... for a while I was so busy feeding her, changing her, entertaining her, and watching her sleep that I hardly found time to eat. I would grab something out of the pantry and just shove it in my face. Now that Allie has a reliable afternoon nap, I make myself lunch and can even shower!
After just 2 weeks, Allie already looks so different to me and she's already packed on some weight (which is amazing considering how often she poops)! Speaking of weight, I'm already down 37 pounds! I only have about 10 more to go. I still haven't dared try on my pre-pregnancy jeans. It's been nothing but elastic around here!
I'm glad that today is Friday because Kevin will be home all weekend to spend time with his little girl. He has been busy taking pictures and video and I'm sure Allison will be having another photo shoot! More pictures to come!
