A week of firsts

Everything has been going really well for us and I would have to say that we are adjusting to having Emma in our lives without to many problems. We have had a couple of days where she was very fussy for no reason it seamed but normally if she is crying there is a very good reason why. Drew is now officially done with the class portion of his clinical lab course. Now they are doing the clinical part where they are actually going out into the labs and that part will last until the beginning of July. As for me these last 3 weeks have gone really quick and while I'm ready to get back into an actual routine I'm not ready to leave Emma with someone else the majority of the day yet. We do have a babysitter lined up thankfully and I'm going to leave Emma with her for a few hours the week before I go back to work so that they can get used to each other and I can get used to being away from Emma.

FIRST BOTTLE On Monday night Drew and I decided that it was time for Emma to get her first bottle. She had no problems excepting the bottle and ended up eating 3ozs. I was afraid she may have eaten to much but she did not get a belly ache and did not spit much up so I would assume that is about what she is eating when I feed her normally.

FIRST REAL BATH Today I decided that Emma needed a bath and since her belly button is now healed up I went ahead and gave her an actual bath vs just wiping her down with the wash cloth. She really seamed to enjoy the bath and did not cry at all until I was drying her off. I think she was just getting cold because once I had her dressed and wrapped up she was perfectly happy again. The first picture is of her belly button now that it is healed and the second is of bath time.



FIRST NIGHT OUT I have not really been away from Emma at all since she was born. Drew took her out for a car ride one night when she would not settle down and was gone for about a half hour but besides that I have not been away from her at all. Drew's parents are going to be coming up to visit this weekend and are going to babysit for us so that we can go out to eat. Not that I do not trust Vince and Linda to take good care of Emma while we are out but it will still be hard to leave her even for a couple of hours. At the same time it will be nice to spend some time where it is just Drew and I again. I guess I have to get used to being away from Emma anyway. Only a couple more weeks and I will have to go back to work.
