Vivienne had an eventful first week of life! It started out with lots of bright lights and poking, but it quickly got better!
She got to meet her Mommy.
She got to hear her Daddy's voice, telling her that he loved her through his tears.
Her Daddy got to see her for the first time on Skype.
And she got to meet her big sister, who couldn't have been more excited to meet her! Marley kissed her over and over again, and hasn't stopped a week later!
Like most newborns, she slept and cuddled most of the days away.
But occasionally, she looked around and soaked up the world.
We all admired her long fingers and toes and watched her wiggle them around.
She held hands with her sister.
She met her new family members.
She got to take her first car ride going home from the hospital, which she slept through.
She got some serious lovin' from her sister all day every day. Marley has been kissing her every chance she gets, singing her Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, holding her hands, and keeping her entertained while I get things together. She is a wonderful big sister, just as we expected her to be!
And she got to meet even more new family members! It was Mimi 2's birthday weekend, so we had planned for everyone to come visit to celebrate. Vivi got to meet Mimi 2, Pawpaw Gene, Aunt Julie, Uncle Andy, Jack, and Alex!
She also got her first bath at home. She wasn't a huge fan of it, but who wants to be cold and naked?
She smiled a lot in her sleep. Her little grins and smiles aren't the real thing, but that doesn't mean they aren't adorable! She smiles a lot right after she has nursed. She spends 15 minutes or so in a half awake/half asleep state where she grins and smiles enough to keep me staring at her the entire time.
She got to try out the Moby Wrap for the first time, and all I can say is that it is the best invention ever made! I got to go on a walk with Marley, make and eat breakfast, play on the playground with Marley, and build block towers. I seriously think I am going to use it every day!
She tried her swing for the first time. She will willingly sit in it for a little while if it isn't swinging, but if you turn it on, she's done!
And of course, she snuggled with her Mommy! I couldn't be happier to have my two girls with me! I feel like the luckiest Mommy in the world!
