5.5 Weeks Old - Memories of our first week home

Dear Maya,

Before I begin with memories of our first week home, I want to show you one of your favourite positions right now.  This is how you like to sleep- holding on tight and with one eye on your property! Lol, Mummy did her best to take this in a G-rated way, but just had to capture the moment.



And now, on to your first week home.
I think it is fair to say that the reason it has taken this long to restart your blog is because we have immersed ourself in .. you.  We took sporadic pictures along the way, hoping they would remind us of these days which have just flown by.

In our first days home when food was precious, Auntie Nicole sent us a most delicious edible arrangement.  She came to visit us during week 2.




Here is Granny enjoying her time with you.

On this day, I let Daddy dress you.. hence the reason you're in your hospital outfit :)  We have this stored as a keepsake for you, as you've loooong outgrown it by now.

Day of life #5, at your first pediatrician appointment with Dr. Koush.  You were almost back to your birthweight that day, and already with 7-10 poops/day, so you were granted tummy time privileges and mummy no longer had to record your ins and outs
This was our first trip out of the house with you, and you were a patient teacher.


One of your favourite poses while asleep in the pack n play.
May everything good in the world embrace you.


Your first bath. It took all three of us and I don't think you cried.  Now you don't cry during the bath, but you cry when we dry you off after, no matter how much we snuggle you in your towel.


One of our favourite gifts, from Auntie Oneeka.  Daddy had gotten your first pictures developed that morning, and lo and behold the frame came that same evening.

Mummy and Daddy adjust to the sleepless nights.

Mummy trying to find a co-sleeping solution.  The velcro snuggle and sleepy sheep were priceless gifts from Auntie CC.
Of note, some people pay money for cleavage like Mummy has in this picture.
