Hadley's first 10 days

Well baby Hadley, you have been here with us now for 10 whole days. We wonder what you think of us? We sure know what daddy, Henry, mommy, and anyone else that meets your thinks of you. We all think that you are a total sweetie that pretty much sleeps all the time. Oh, and that you are very cute! You also are a great eater (every 1.5-3 hours, and have already had two great nights that you slept for 4 hours in a row)! You have a little awake period every morning for about an hour, and in the evening we try to encourage you to do the same but otherwise you love your newborn beauty sleep. You have had a two sponge baths here at home (not your favorite), and take your vitamin every eve (you don't mind it), and we have also started to try a little tummy time every day (you don't mind that either ;). You have had a visit from the public health nurse and your first well baby check up and you get gold stars all around! Never a concern for jaundice or anything else except for a little redness on your tiny bottom from your hourly poops ;). And you are gaining weight too! We discharged from the hospital Friday at 6 lbs., 15 oz., and on Monday the public health nurse weighed you in at 7 lbs, 3 1/2 oz., and now today, at your well baby check up, you weighed 7 lbs, 9 1/2 oz.!   Aside from that, your days consist of snuggles with mommy and daddy, and an occasional "hi," from brother (Henry, your great, blog to come), and visitor after visitor (visitor blog to follow). Here are a few pics from your first few days. Welcome!
