Madelyn Claire- 1 week old


I can't believe my baby girl is 1 week old...okay, so this post is late which means she is a couple days past a week old. But, that is okay. Madelyn has had a wonderful first week. I keep telling Matt that I hope he understands how blessed we are. She sleeps through the night, except for her every 3 hour feedings. She usually lets us go one long spurt of sleep at night around 4-5 hours. During the day she has awake moments where she seems to just soak up the world around her. She is so alert when awake and usually has these moments about 3 times a day. Other than that she sleeps and wakes when she needs something whether it be a diaper change or to be fed.

She is very good with her hands. I hate trying to keep those little mittens or socks or whatever on her hands to keep from scratching her face, but usually she is pretty gentle when it comes to her touches. She has only scratched herself a couple of times and not very badly at all. Just left little red marks for a couple of hours maybe at most. She had her first doctors appointment this week. Her doctor gave her 2 thumbs up and an A+. :) She weighed in at 8 lbs. 1 oz. Almost back to her birth weight. I believe that is all for now.
