Happy 1 Week Old Birthday Little Lenna!

Lenna is 1 week old now! It's amazing with a blink of an eye where a week goes. This will be our last "First Week Home Post." Grandma Sue and I went to have Lenna's weight checked at the doctor's office and she weighs 9 lbs exactly now. Our little girl is quickly becoming a big girl. We had a good day doing a bit of shopping and having lunch with Grandma. Lenna was such a good little girl today with very minimal fussing or crying while we were out and about.

Lenna's First Weekend Home

Lenna and all of us enjoyed our first weekend home and had some wonderful visitors. We also had our first newborn photo shoot thanks to Michele at Studio G Photography today.

Here is a Mommy & Daddy pic (who does she look like the most I say Daddy so far)?


Look at how much Lenna has changed from last Thursday through Friday! She's getting more alert and responds to her name now.

Daddy had to work Saturday so Grandpa Lenny hung out with Lenna and I:

Lenna also met her Cousins Maddison and Conner and Amber. Uncle Chumly was proud to hold her Lenna while she was awake this time:

Lenna also met her Cousins Kody & Kerry and Aunt Linda:

TGIF

Lenna's first Friday in the world was pretty laid back. We got to spend the day getting used to each other and enjoying Mommy/Daughter time. We also had a few vistors.

Grandma Sue dropped by:

Jamie dropped by for a visit:

Uncle Paully Walnutz stopped by to hang out and hold Lenna (good practice for Uncle Walnutz if he ever needs the experience :) )

Thanks for visiting Grandma Jenny & Grandpa Frank

On Thursday Grandma Jenny & Grandpa Frank came over for their last day of visiting before they finish up their trip and head back to Arizona. Grandma Jenny came with Lenna and I to have her weight checked and her 24 hour checkup from the hospital. She is in the 75th percentile on height, weight and head size and pretty much a healthy baby. We were able to snap pics of Frank holding Lenna (who was leary of holding her in the hospital but we talked him right into it when he was here). Jenny enjoyed hanging out with Lenna and Sarge during tummy time. We hope Grandma and Grandpa have a safe trip back home and hope to get to Sedona in to see them and definitely see them this summer for a family reunion.

Welcome Home Lenna!

Lenna and I were discharged from the hospital today. We are all thankful to be blessed with such a healthy and wonderful baby girl and I'm very happy with my recovery so far. It was a positive birthing experience at the St. Cloud Hospital. Everyone there loved her hair and plump cheeks (which I think are from her Daddy). She's been an awesome baby so far, but of course, I'm a little biased.

Tony is so happy and Lenna is obviously going to be a Daddy's girl and a picture of me too:

Yesterday at the hospital she met her Grandma Jenny and Grandpa Frank (who are enjoying the MN cold during their visit from Sedona, AZ):

Lenna also met her Grandma Sue and Grandpa Larry:

She also met her Auntie Kelli and Andrea who almost skipped school to meet her:


Today we came home and Lenna got to meet her Grandpa Lenny and her Big-Pet-Brother Sarge. Grandpa is obvisouly over-joyed and Sarge is doing well for being a spoiled puppy.

She also got to meet her Uncle Chumley:

And last (but not least) she got to meet her Cousin Ariana, who just so happens to share the same birthday as Lenna and wished for her baby cousin to be born when she blew out her candles Monday (not knowing her Aunt was in labor with her cousin). She was very appreciative of her birthday present and said that if I would have waited six more minutes, her and Lenna would be exactly 15 years apart in age. I'm not sure if I could have waited 6 more minutes though...


Thank you to all of you who have sent your well wishes. We are very happy!
