One Week

Today Ariel is one week old, wow. Kinda exciting and yet really makes you realize how fast time goes by. A health nurse came by this morning, a different one then the one we saw last week. Anyhoo, she measured Ariel and our growing girl is now at 8lb 5.9oz, so she put on 5.9 oz over the weekend, talk about a good eater. Also the shock of the cold scale didn't impress Ariel and she preceded to pee on it. LOL. Oh well, we thought it was funny.

Tried to keep today somewhat quiet, since yesterday was soooooo crazy. Ariel was up only at 1am, 5am and then didn't wake up again till 9am. That was nice of her to let us sleep in, well, Daddy thought so anyways. We had a lazy morning together, it was very nice. Stella came by with some cake for our freezer, woot! We then got me into my bridesmaid dress and started figuring out how much we were taking off. There is so much left over material, that Ariel may get a dress out of it. The one I bought back in Spring may be too big, so we shall see. Ariel slept through most of Stella's visit, as she does for most visitors. But she did get some cute diaper shirts that Auntie Kara had picked out, yay!

Then in the afternoon, Natalie came by to see us. She brought Ariel some UBER cute outfits! One is a newborn size which is awesome, since she is kinda in transition to her 0-3 outfits and is lacking much choice in her clothes. I think she is gonna wear it to the rehersal this friday. Hee. It was great to see her and have a nice visit. She told us that Peter is offically joining our church as a member, woot! How exciting!

Tonight we had some more of the lovely salmon corn chowder that was brought for us last night, along with many sandwiches from the party. The fridge is so full these days, as is the freezer. May not need to cook for a long time. Yay! I am going to hop in the shower to unwind. I am a little sore today, blah. Sometimes remembering one has had surgery sucks.
