It is hard to believe that Graecyn has been with us for 1 week already and even harder to imagine our lives without her. She is such a blessing to us! The first week has gone quite well...the first few nights were a little challenging while we tried to figure things out. We've been able to get her on somewhat of a daytime 2 hour sleep/eat schedule, which is working out well for the nights as she's given us a few longer stretches of sleep (almost 4 hours last night!).
We were fortunate to have both my parents and Eric's parents visit this week, which was a huge help. They made sure we didn't have to cook, clean or do anything other than rest and take care of Graecyn. And, were there to hold Graecyn at every chance they got.

Graecyn had her new baby check up on January 10 and everything looks good. She did lose 13 oz since birth (6 oz since being discharged from the hospital), but the doctor wasn't too concerned considering my milk had only just come in that day (I am exclusively breastfeeding). We go back for a weight check next week and are hoping the frequent feedings are helping her pack on some weight.
Eric and I are still on cloud 9 and can't believe she's ours; we can spend hours just looking at her and holding her.
