Sigh-
The first week Aspen was home has come and gone, and looking back it was harder than I thought it would be. She has been a VERY good baby from day 1, little fussing (as long as you don't try to swaddle her or cover her hands) and sleeping 3-4 hour stretches at a time. Christophers family was here for a total of 9 days right after we got home and it was nice to have meals cooked (that I was too sick to eat, but enjoyed the smell of) and housework done... I felt bad I had let it go so much being HUGE pregnant in the hottest part of summer! Uncle Chad left us with amazing meatloaf and other frozen dishes we lived on for weeks after, and carrot cake that is seriously to DIE for... It was also a relief to get our house back to ourselves, and I don't think it was until then that we really started to settle into a routine as a family and everything started to calm down and I felt like I could settle into motherhood.
Chris's Chevelle also came in that week and it was fun to watch him start working on the engine and all.
Aspens first appointment went SO great! She was back up to her birth weight at 5 days, instead of the standard 2 weeks! She is eating VERY well and is a super alert, super content little lady.
So all in all we survived the first week and lived to tell about it
