Aby's New Room

After Aby was born and it turned out that we had a little girl we/I decided that she needed a girly room and the brown room that we had planned on putting her in would not work. So her wonderful dadddy painted once again, a pink room. I also found an adorable girly bed set off Overstock.com (love it)! The room is obviously not complete but here are a few pictures of Aby's new room.

Aby Wearing

There is a new trend going around called "baby wearing". I got a carrier at one of my baby showers and to be honest I was thinking of returning it. Until today I hadn't really tried to put Aby in it but after a little effort I had a fun day "wearing" Aby around the house while I folded laundry, cleaned the house,and even ate dinner. Stephen decided that he wanted to wear her for a little while. She loves her carrier, she will look all around and has no problem falling asleep while I run around the house. It is just a plus that she looks totally adorable in it!

Ice Ice Baby

The Vedro's have been having a very interesting week! Because of the winter storm that we have been having we weren't sure if we would have power. We decided to stay with some friends from church who have a generator in case our power did go out. We are back home now...with power (obviously) and hoping that it stays on, because the weather has not gotten above freezing the ice is not melting and trees are continuing to fall (on power lines). Here are a few pictures of the ice.

Weight Check

We had our first Dr's appointment this morning to check Aby's weight, and I just wanted to let everyone know that she is 8lbs 3oz. She was 8lb 8oz at birth and 7lbs 15oz when we left the hospital. The Dr said she should be back to her brith weight by next week! He also did a complete physical assesment and said she is doing great all around!

Aby's 1st Bottle

Stephen was so excited to feed our little girl her first bottle...and I couldn't stop taking pictures!

Family

Baby Update.

Aby
Abigail is doing great. She is eating every 2-3 hours and pooping/peeing in between. We have a weight check appointment in the morning, but all signs show that she is a happy, healthy, thriving little girl. Against the Dr's. advice we attempted to let her sleep in our room (in the bassinet) the first night home from the hospital and it was a nightmare! Every time she wiggled her pinkie toe it woke us up and we had to make sure she was okay. Last night was substantially better. We put her in her crib and turned the monitorr down low (of course the door was open and we could here everything that the monitor picked up) and she was great, only waking us up when she actually needed something (diaper change, eating, and gas drops) Aside from all of the important things like gaining weight, good sleep habits, and digestion I think she is getting cuter everyday. She is making new faces everyday, my favorite is when she is done eating she purses her lips as tight as she can, as to say stop trying to stick that thing in my mouth!

Mommy
Nikki is feeling much better. She is getting lots of rest, drinking lots of fluids and eating well. She doesn't mind the night time feedings as long as she can get some rest in between and can't wait to get out of the house and back to her daily routine.

Daddy
Stephen is beaming, I can't think of a better name for our little girl than one meaning " the joy of the father". She is definately living up to her name! Stephen is changing diapers, cooking meals, doing laundry, and helping Nikki with anything that she requests, while playing with Aby, talking and reading to her (while she is sleeping mostly), and cuddling her! He is definately in love.
