Happy 3 weeks, Chloe!

Chloe will be 3 weeks old a little later today. Life is definately different and Matt and I are still adjusting.
Monday, Chloe had her two week check up appointment. She weighed 9 lbs. 1.5 ounces. Even though she has not yet regained weight, they are not concerned as she otherwise appears healthy. She is to go back at 2 months for her immunizations.
After the appointment, Chloe attended her first Christmas party and this was the first place we have been other than doctor's appointments and the hospital. We went to a friend's (Carol Ann) house that I went to nursing school with where Chloe met my nursing school friends, Holly, Amy, Allison, Jennifer, Carol Ann, and Crissy. She met babies Lainey, Ryan, and Olivia Kate as well and we took some cute pictures of the babies. Of course, Chloe had to be the fussy baby out of the group and required a pacifier during her photo shoot, but they were still super cute!
Tuesday night, Aunt Jill and the Crowley grandparents came to see little Chloe. They brought us dinner as well, which was so nice! Chloe was happy most of the visit and then tuckered out on grandma's shoulder.
Right now, Chloe is in her crib and we are attempting her first night to sleep in it. With the advice from some other mommies, we are using a wedge and her swaddle thingy. We will see how long I last.

A sweet smile from Chloe!

Happy 2 weeks, Chloe!!!!

Today, Chloe turned 2 weeks old! She took a nap with her daddy to celebrate the day! I am still learning time management with a newborn and do well to feed, bathe, and dress the little lady and get a few household chores done. The doctor said I need to take it easy and seemed to think I was doing to much at my doctor's appointment yesterday. She told me I shouldn't be lifting grocery bags, which isn't an issue as I haven't even been to the store since we have been home. As a matter of fact, the only places I have been are to Chloe's doctor's appointment and to my own. The dog's continue to be interested in the baby and make sniffing her the first thing on their agenda when we let them in. She doesn't seem to mind. Aunt Joyce is coming to visit tomorrow for a few days, so hopefully I will have the time to post some pictures so you can see how cute this little lady is!
