Well, today marks a week that we've been home with Harper, and I've got to say, I think we're doing pretty well. She eats and sleeps good, and really at night were averaging 4-5 hours of sleep. My pain is slowly going away, as is the swelling in my legs. I'm on a weigh restriction for a while yet, and can't carry Harper up or down stairs, which in our house is a problem since it's a tri split level...Luckily we have family to help out, and I can camp out on the upper level now that I can sleep in our bed again. See you later uncomfortable recliner!
Harper is awesome. She makes the best faces, and is such a scowler! She is definitely my kid. This photo was taken of me the day I was born, and I can't believe the resemblance to Harper, especially the hand placement, since that is generally where her little fist is.
Erich goes back to work on Monday, I can't believe how quick this first week went by. At first I thought it was taking forever, but now that it's going to be go time for me on my own (in general) it's a little scary. I wish more companies offered paternity leave for their employees. But, I guess I'm ready for the challenge.
Abbey is becoming more brave around Harper; she got her first few "kisses" in last night while I was feeding her, and again this morning when she was on the floor. She loves to lick her little ears and feet; and we thought our biggest problem would be with her toys :) She's slowly learning that she can't lick the baby, but she still tries to get some in whenever she gets the chance.
Pretty uneventful post after the previous one...I'm sure I'll have better stories over the next 7 weeks!
