Adjusting to a life with a newborn

It hasn't been easy. Well ok it's been pretty easier considering. My mom and Grandma got into town the night I went into labor. Lucky right? They have been such a blessing and a huge help to Emmett and I. Heck, they even spent their whole last night here tending to Haddie so Emmett and I could get one good night of sleep in before we were on our own. We were burning out pretty fast there for a couple days. I really think they didn't mind doing this because my mom wanted to squeeze in as much time as possible with baby before she left the next morning. We had every meal made for us, dishes were always clean and put away, naps were had, diapers were changed..they made it pretty easy on us. GRATEFUL. 

Sorry to Emmett because that just won't be the case anymore. I can already imagine what my house will look like given a matter of days hours.

Though it was great having the 4 generations together for the last week I do think it's time to start handling business on our own now. - Don't worry mom, and to my mother in law, I will show Haddie pictures of you always and tell her who you are so she will always remember her grandmas when she gets to see you again :)
Yes, I'm a little scared, a little lonely and the quietness of the house, when baby is sleeping, is a tad, well, erie. It'll take some adjustment but I know we will be just fine. We got blessed with a terrific child. Nights aren't always easy but she has given us a couple of those nights where we get lots of sleeping hours in at a time. YAY. During the day she is full of smiles, eats like a CHAMP and sure knows how to imitate a squeak toy. She keeps us on our toes and definitely entertained.
Did I mention she eats like a champ? She sure does. In the hospital she lost 8% of her body weight (10% and drs start to REALLY worry.) She wouldn't eat much or go to the bathroom. This is why we had to stay 2 days instead of the 1. But as soon as we got her home she cranked up the appetite and gained all her weight back plus some. She was a petite 5lbs when we left, then at the dr she was over 6lbs  and now I'm sure she is over 7lbs. You can see it in her little Budah cheeks :) So cute.

We are all doing great to say the least. I'm thrilled about our new adventures that await us. I couldn't have picked a better husband/baby daddy. He is up with every cry heard, takes shifts with me, cares for us both, deals with my emotional roller coaster and yet still manages to go to school and work.

Blessed beyond words.

Here is a little video that melts my heart. Emmett didn't know I was taking it at first. 

See? BLESSED.
