One Week Old

Rachel was one week old yesterday. It's been a while since we last posted but taking care of a newborn is very time consuming (those of you with little ones will understand)! Who knows where the day goes! We're on a three hour schedule right now. She eats every three hours from start to start of feedings, so that really only leaves about two hours in between (as feeding is still somewhat of a stuggle right now)...but it's getting much better day by day thankfully! My mom has been helping out ALOT! She was here last weekend and is back from Wed-Fri this week since Adam went back to work yesterday. Hopefully we'll be a little more self sufficient starting next week when I'll be home with her on my own for the first time. I have found the key is sleeping when she sleeps or taking naps at least a couple of times a day.

She went for her first stroller ride yesterday and loved it! It was an absolutely gorgeous day! Mr. Ed, Mrs. Cindy, and Jana stopped by last night and we enjoyed visiting with them for a while. They brought Rachel a stuffed Easter bunny that is so cute! I've attached pics of her stroller ride and first time in her swing, etc. Enjoy!

We'll try to post more later over the weekend if we get some free time.

Thanks for all the prayers that are continually going up for us. We are so blessed to have such a support group of family and friends.
