Allie is one week old :))

Hi! Another Mama Rodick update. This one should be a bit more coherent, as I am finally getting used to waking up every 2-3 hours to feed Allie, and learning how to sleep when she is asleep. It is a hard thing to do, especially during the day, but I have been so tired that I managed to fall asleep in the middle of the afternoon.

Yesterday night we looked back a week ago, when Allie was born. We celebrated with some apple cider, and the wonderfully prepared frozen lasagna that the hospital sent home with us. It is still very emotional for me to think of the time she was born, and life is so different, more meaningful and wholesome now that she is with us. Words cannot describe it.

So, in the spirit of celebrating "firsts", below is a picture of Daddy giving Allie her first bath. Notice the super cute bath towel, a wonderful gift from Auntie Michelle.

Allie also played in the play gym/mat today. She can raise her arms and follow us around with her eyes, so it is fun to put her on her back in this mat, another great gift from Grandma Tina.

And last, but not least, a very cute picture I took of her sleeping the other day. This was not staged, she put both her arms up like that. To me, it looks as if she is saying "Ah, just chilling here mama".

Bryan is home today and tomorrow, so Allie has had quite a bit of quality dad time. Mama got a haircut today- after 9 months of avoiding the salon due to the harsh chemical smells- and looks brand new :))

Love you all very much,
Have a great rest of the week and weekend,
Thais

PS: On Saturday, we have Allie's newborn photo session :)))
