Mirabella's 1st Week Birthday

Today is June 15th, Mirabella's 1st week birthday!  This week was both very trying, but awesome all rolled into one.  For not being around too many babies growing up, both Brian and I are doing pretty well at taking care of our little Mirabella!  (If I might say so myself!)  This week's notables:

• We had a hard time nursing, but with some help and advice from some nurses, we have a good routine going.  Mirabella lost a whole pound after coming home, but we are already back to 8 pounds 10 ounces.  This is great progress considering her doctor likes to see the weight gained back within 2 weeks.  It looks like Mirabella will have a love for food just like her mom and dad!
• I feel that we have been fortunate because our baby girl is sleeping between 4 to 5 hours per night.  Once she wakes up, we feed her and she sleeps for another 2 to 3 hours.  
• Mirabella took her first sponge bath.  It went much better than I anticipated.  There was no screaming or crying involved.
• Our little Bella had a great time on her play mat looking at the bugs hanging overhead, swinging in her swing, reading her black and white books with dad, and singing with mom.
• We have gone on 2 family walks so far.  The walks are extremely short because I still can't move too well, but they were great and Mirabella really seemed to enjoy it.
• Mirabella also had her first visit to Cleveland Blooms on Sunday.  She wasn't really into it and decided to nap most of the time.
• We had our first doctor visit today.  In addition to finding out her weight, we also found out that she is 20 inches long.  She is just a little more than average in length, but in the 75th percentile for her weight.  She had the cutest outfit on today for her outing, but I was not able to get a picture of it because she had her first explosion all over herself and Brian.  It was halirous! 
• And speaking of accidents, Mirabella likes to make her dad really work when it's time for a diaper change.  So far she has had 3 accidents and all have been with dad!  I'm sure my time will be up soon!
