We are learning new things each day about our little Jillian and about parenting....shocker, I know! Here are some tidbits of the knowledge we've gained so far:
1. there are lots and lots of opinions about how to do things
2. staying asleep all day leads to awake time at night
3. you should always put a new diaper under the dirty one before uncovering anything
4. grandmas are very helpful in the wee hours of the morning
5. the smallest little smile, whimper, twitch, eyebrow raise, toot or big cry can bring about immense feelings of love and amazement in new parents.
We are all doing really really well despite being on low sleep. Jillian has had many visitors this past weekend, and she has loved being passed around to all of the warm arms and laps of her many new friends :)
We have taken a few outings...to Grandma & Grandpa Zimmerman's house, to Costco, and to the Johnson's house all the way in West Seattle! She enjoys the car rides for sure...we'll have to remember that when nothing else seems to work to get her down for a nap :)
This morning, we went to the pediatrician for the one-week check up, and Jillian performed like a champ. She has gained all of the weight back that she lost, and now weighs a whopping 7 pounds, 2 ounces! She also had to get a PKU test, which involved poking and squeezing, and lots of crying, but we all survived.
Here are some of the latest pictures:
