It's been one week...

We have been home for a whole week now, and things are much better than a week ago! It was a rough weekend, but now, I am great and so is little Elaina.
On Monday, she had her first Dr. appt. She has regained all her weight and was 6lbs 6oz! Truth be told, she eats A LOT! I am happy about that because she burns more calories for me! I am down in weight- I put on 40 and have 17 left...however, the weight that remains is all shifted around, and so it will take longer now to lose the rest and hopefully get back to where I started. It is a journey, and I am eating and drinking over 100 oz of water a day and she is still taking what she wants- that is what I love- totally don't mind feeding her when she is hungry, and again, that is A LOT!!
The weather has been very nice this week too, so we have taken many walks and even made it to the last inning of Dana's baseball game yesterday. She really loves the outdoors! Her umbilical cord dried up and fell off yesterday, so we gave her a bath! WOW! Her first big cleaning after arriving...here she is BEFORE:
Did I mention, she really does not like being naked?!
Here she is during:

She did calm down, eventually, and this is how she looked in her towel afterward:
Much happier!
She was so calm a few minutes after getting her jammies on, and so content...the girls held her in their bed and I snapped these:








She slept pretty good after that bath- I am looking forward to each day getting better and better from here on out!
She is a snuggle bug and the kids are looking forward to her being more social with them- they think she's pretty boring right now, though Alex was loving this moment with her:Looks like she has her thumb, but she can't really get it just yet.
So, as for the first week, things are so good- I sort of want to slow it down in a way so she will stay little, but I know that's not possible, so I am savoring each of these moments, really savoring them.
