Today marks the 1st week home since Emma Marie La Touche was born. She is so precious. The c-section went fine and she was born a healthy 8 lbs 2oz and 19 inches long with a full head of jet black hair. She is the spitting image of me (Shannon) when I was a baby, except the hair. She is a great baby that hardly cries and sleeps all the time. We have to wake her to eat! In her sleep, you will find her having "baby dreams" where her eyes twitch, she frowns, squishes her eyebrows together, and then giggles. It is the cutest. thing. ever!
Emma loves her daddy, absolutely adores him, but not as much as he adores her. He is a pro swaddler and wraps her up so tight. She now seems to not like her arms or legs swaddled. She actually would rather not have socks on and kicks off her blanket. She is definitely my child.
She has long fingers and toes more like her daddy than me. Her eyes are wide set like mine and she has the chubbiest of cheeks. She is now opening her eyes more, which appear to be a brown color.
We go for our checkup tomorrow to see her doctor and mine.
An update will come later this week!
She is definitely a beautiful little girl and the fact that she rarely fusses and sleeps well would make her appealing to any mother. :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm the same way about blankets and socks. I wear flip-flps year round because my feet are always hot.
Glad you are enjoying your little bundle of joy.
