First Week

In her first week, Juliana braved the car seat 3 times (twice to the doctor's and once home from the hospital)

Daddy has the magic touch and can get Juliana to sleep pretty much every time. Mom is slowly getting better at this, but right now she's the food wagon.

After learning how to fill her tummy, Juliana is much more relaxed and sleeps much harder and deeper than in the first few days. We are now awaiting her 7-10 day growth spurt where we expect she will eat even more. We are extremely blessed, however, because she's been eating every 2 hrs during the day and roughly every 3 hrs (or longer sometimes) at night.

We were thrilled when she found her fingers to suck on and pacify herself. Of course this is not a regular event just yet, but when it happens, we are excited since it spares our fingers.

Juliana is learning to sleep in the bassinet, and as you can tell from the photo, is enjoying putting her feet up.

Finally, she made her second trip to the doctor's and is almost back to her birth weight! She weighed in at 6 lbs 1 oz, which I believe was much better than the doctor was expecting. We were shocked and thrilled at the good report.
