Chelan

Went to Chelan for a long weekend - it was awesome! Greg's parents have a time share there - 2 condos. We went with his sister and her husband/kids. I was so worried about taking a newborn on such a long car trip but she was a trooper. Slept the whole way! Then I was worried about everyone having fun outside without me (since it was so hot I couldn't bring Makena outside) But I was able to put her down and lay out by the pool with the baby monitor. It was perfect. The pool is 5 feet from the condo so it worked out nice. Even got to enjoy some great wine and adult conversation after she went to bed at night! Amazing how much you miss that.

2 Weeks Old!

Can't believe our little girl is going to be 2 weeks old tomorrow. She is already changing so much. So far she eats every 2 hours during the day and every 3 hours at night. We are swaddling her in the miracle blanket (thank God for that creation) and she is sleeping great in her bassinet next to the bed. Thank you to Ashley for forcing me to go there...I was holding her all night long for the first week and, needless to say, not getting very much sleep. I think my favorite times so far are the early morning (can't believe I'm saying this) when I'm feeding her and the sun is just coming up. It is so quiet and peaceful - you really can't explain the way you feel when you are feeding your baby from your own body. What an amazing expereince. Here are a few pics for you to enjoy! Love you all.
