Madilyn is a week old now! She seems to be growing just a little but is still a tiny little thing. I'm not going to lie, this first week has been rough. I had no idea that breast feeding would be this hard. I thought I would offer the milk and the baby would take it. Apparently there is more to it. It's a good thing I am adamant about breast feeding because it would be really easy to give up. I had plenty of help this week. John was home most of the week, my mother-in-law stayed for a couple of days, and my mom stayed for a whole week. I was so thankful for all the help and company. It has gotten better and better every day and we are finally getting into a routine. John and I are so happy that Madilyn is part of our little family! I can't even describe how much I love her. She is so worth it! Here are some pictures of our beautiful girl.
As you can tell, she loves to suck on her hands...if she can find them.
Here she is getting hungry. She tends to scream a little louder when I holding her. She knows I have the food.
She is starting to be awake more and more throughout the day but still sleeps a lot.
