*Three Weeks*

We had a very busy weekend!

Saturday we went on our very first family outing! (Besides church)

We went to Clarksville and the hubs bought a kayak and all the stuff that goes with it. I told him it was partly his graduation present since that will be here in a couple weeks. We went shopping for baby clothes because our little precious is LONG and has a tiny waste so even newborn bottoms are too big for her waste and she needed some pants/jeans of some sort. We found one part of jeggings but I bet that once she gets them on they will be too big for her too! But that is why we found a couple of newborn outfits that should work until she gets bigger. She has so many clothes in other sizes, very cute clothes, she's just too skinny for.

Yesterday we went to church then had a house full of people all day! It is nice to know that she is so loved BUT when your child screams the whole time and you know how to fix her yet don't really know how to tell someone, "hey give her here", so you listen for over an hour in a panic until they leave then after two minutes she is asleep. Anyways she was pooped after all her visitors.

Today she is three weeks old!

*She already looks bigger than last week

*She is still obsessed with her hands!

*You do so well with tummy time

*you can hold your head up like a champ!

*You are more awake and bright eyed than ever

*You are starting to make noises like you are trying to coo, its kind of like a hum

*You will sleep forever snuggled up to me or your daddy

*I can already tell that buying clothes are for you is going to be hard because you are long and skinny, just like your daddy!

*You try with all your might to get on your side and possibly roll over, but you haven't figured out what to do with your arm but I think soon enough you will figure it out!

*You fight sleep all the time

*You bring so much sunshine to our lives

* Two weeks*

I was thinking last night that I needed to keep track of all my memories from my sweet baby somewhere I will always know will be around and can go back and read and have forever. So I'm going to blog again! I want to remember all those little moments and remember exactly how I was feeling during those moments. So today I am sharing my two week old baby!

Two weeks ago I was induced around 10:30 am. I was 39 weeks and 4 days. The whole day went by so fast. Before the induction I was already at 6cm so I didn't have too much farther to go. A little after 5:00 I knew it was almost time to push. After the all the nurses came in and the doctor came in I pushed 5 big pushes and out she came!

 
Amelia Sharon Roberts was born at 5:26 pm. 8lbs 15oz, 21 inches. It was the most amazing feeling to finally meet our baby! She didn't really cry, but she was bright eyed and just snuggled on me after she came out, and she had a beautiful head of hair! We had a whole bunch of people there ready to meet our sweet baby and she did so good with everyone. For the most part her birth went pretty smooth. It was a long two days at the hospital. I was ready to get our baby and go home as a family!
 
 
She is a boob baby! It was harder at first than I thought. She latched well but is a super sucker, but after a week it wasn't that bad after all, just had to stick with it! Her first week went by well. We were all just learning a routine and what all the baby needs. My husband was able to stay home during the first week which was great!
 
This is our baby at a week old!
 
 
This was the outfit she came home in and my bestie came over and had a little photo shoot with her :)
 
This past week has went by so fast. My mom came last week to help me out which was such a blessing! Now its just the two of us while the hubby is working and going to school during the week.
 
AT 2 WEEKS OLD
 
*You love to eat
 
*You love to snuggle and cuddle
 
*You look so much like your daddy
 
*You have my nose, still not sure who's lips you have yet
 
*You have not lost any of your hair, YAY
 
*You love sucking on your fist, thumb or fingers, whichever you can get in your mouth
 
*You REALLY love to be held, especially when sleeping
 
*You are getting too long for your newborn sleepers
 
*You lay on your play mat all by yourself, already doing big girl things :/
 
*You smile in your sleep and it is my favorite thing to see
 
It makes me a little sad to think that you will never be 2 weeks old again :( But you are growing and you are healthy and that makes me happy!
