Our first week

Well our first week of life as a family has been amazing. After spending 2 days in the hospital, we ventured home and enjoyed hanging out with the Gunselman crew. Jill's mom, Cindy (aka GiGi), stayed with us for 3 nights to help out. Grandpa CD was a lifesaver on keeping us fed, always having bacon, eggs, and biscuits/gravy right when we "woke up"...I am learning that waking up is really a loose term when you have a newborn, but she is already getting a little better at making it through the night.

We've had some really fun times so far. So far, Jill's favorite is burping Lilly right after feeding. She's just so cuddly and sweet! Matt's favorite is tummy time with Daddy. She lays right on his chest and sometimes tries to look up and around just to see what's happening.

After the Gunselmans left, Grandpa Schilb and Nana were knocking at the door ready to help out and snuggle that little baby. They kept us fed with Sushi and helped out with our crying little baby in the middle of the night.

Lillian also had her first bath and she absolutely loved it! Now every time we take her back to our master bathroom she thinks she's going to get another spa treatment with a scalp massage and warm sponge bath :)

Matt's sure enjoying his time off work and so grateful to get to spend so much time with baby Lilly.

Lilly also had her first check up this week! We bundled her up and made our first trip out of the house. She still has some ounces to gain back but the doctor isn't concerned because she's eating so well. She measured 19 inches and weighed 7lb 4.5 ounces. And she loves her car seat and riding in the car! She's such a good baby!

We've had some delirious moments at 2am, but we're always thankful for our sweet girl. The funny moments just keep coming. Matt has been sleepy during diaper changes and left the dirty diaper in her pants with the clean one a few times. Jill has been a little slow with the diaper changes which gives Lilly the chance to pee on everything.

Thanks to all our friends for the meals! They're a huge help. Check back soon for more updates!
