I feel so blessed
After a week and a half of being home Malea and I are doing well. We had a rough couple of days this week because she was having some major gas issues but after cutting everything I would normally eat out of my diet things seem to be going much better. I feel so blessed to have an adorable baby that sleeps so well at night and that takes great naps during the day. I have also been blessed and encouraged by the amount of support that Matt and I have received. Our first few nights home my mom was here with us, then Matt's mom came up from San Jose to stay for a couple of nights, and right now my friend Renee is here helping out, cooking and cleaning for us! I have been so spoiled that when Renee goes home on Monday I hope that I can survive! :) It seems like all I do right now is feed Malea so it's nice to have someone here helping out to get other things done as well! This has been a big week for Malea; at one week she lost her umbilical cord stump, the next day she got her first bath, she has slept through 5 nights (other than me waking her up to feed her), she drank from her first bottle and she even got to go hang out with Grandma so that Matt and I could go to Erase the Dark! Well it's time to go feed AGAIN so I've got to run but I thought I'd just send out a little update with some pictures since it's been awhile since I posted. :)

You are doing a great job Anna. You are a good mommy taking care of her just the way she needs. I hope and pray she continues to sleep through the night for you and give you the rest you need to get through the day.
ReplyDeleteYou are blessed. I am so glad the sweet thing is doing so well. Hi to all from the Beaver passel.

ReplyDeleteI swear she just keeps getting cuter. Anna, you're already such an attentive mother, so Malea is blessed, too!
ReplyDeleteYay for more pictures. I love them and love her! You sound like you are doing so well and getting some needed rest. How cool that Renee flew down. I didn't know she was doing that. That is awesome! So, I think it is time we talk again on the phone when you don't have anyone in your house anymore. Let me know. Love you! Give Malea a squeeze from me. :)
ReplyDeleteWow, that it one beautiful new life you brought into the world.
ReplyDeleteAnna and Matt, congratulations! You have a beautiful baby girl! It seemed to me like just yesterday that you discovered that you were pregnant and now here you are, a mommy. I am so happy for the three of you.
ReplyDeleteIn that picture of Malea in her diaper I see Matt's resemblance. They change so much I can't wait to see her in person. I am glad that all is well for you two. You are blessed.
