Life with Lily

So Lily is now one week old. It feels much longer than that to me. Joe, Lily and I have been hanging out at home, basically being hermits. It's been nice to get to know each other without a lot of other people coming in and out. 

Even while being hermits, this has been kind of a busy week. We had our first appointment with the pediatrician on Tuesday. Lily had lost 10 oz since she was born and was looking slightly jaundiced. Luckily, later that night my milk finally came in (it was delayed because of the pitocin... long story still to come in the birth story post). Since then she has gained 4 oz and is looking just peachy. She's still pretty scrawny, only 5 lbs 10 oz, but she's doing great at nursing and there are no more concerns. 

Some things that Lily likes:

1) When dad wraps her up in various blankets, shushes in her ear, and swings her around. 

2) When mom washes her hair. 

Some things that Lily dislikes: 

1) When dad changes her diaper. 

2) When mom washes any other part of her. 

And now for pictures!

This scene is what I was greeted with when I got out of the shower yesterday. Don't they both look so peaceful? I especially like the closeup because she has a little smile. 

I call this one her "Glamour Shot." It cracks me up. I particularly like her faux-hawk. 

And this one is from today, so one week old. We were on our way back to the pediatrician's office for our follow up visit. She's so small even newborn sized clothes look humongous on her. You can't really see it in this picture, but she's wearing a little onesie with bugs all over it that she is just swimming in. And her socks look like snowboarding boots. But her eyes are open for the first time in a picture!
