1 week appointment

Today Elizabeth had her one week doctor appointment & it went very well. I was worried she was going to get shots but those do not come till her 2 mo. visit. Andy & I really like the pediatrician and she had great tips for us first time parents. Elizabeth received a clean bill of health & is already back to her birth weight. It felt good to hear that we are doing everything right for our little girl. We are still working on this slide show for the blog but it is not as easy as it looks. You would think between the two of us that we could figure it out but we keep getting distracted by diapers, feedings and of course naps. We have a lot of cute pictures of Elizabeth visiting with her Grandma's, aunts, uncles and all her cousins. Andy jokes that I take the camera everywhere I take the baby- you just never know when a cute picture will present itself. I wanted to take some at the doctor's office but didn't really think the doctor would appreciate a crazy mom snapping pics. of every little thing. In a week's time Elizabeth has mastered many things that we are very proud of.... She does smile at us but they are random little smiles ...some may say it is just gas but hey, a smile is a smile. Managed to nap throughout the day and stay up at night... Wear so many cute outfits....Not since the Sex & the City movie have their been so many great costume changes. Eat A LOT!!! Most importantly, Elizabeth has managed to steal the heart of her mommy & daddy...we are so in love w/ her and thankful she is here!! We are having a blast and cherishing every moment with her. All three of us are going down for our nap now....the doctor's visit wore us all out!

Coffee please!!!

We are on our first morning at home and it is very different than being in the hospital. I didn't have people in & out of our room all night which was a plus but Elizabeth still seems to have her days /nights confused. Last night was not as bad and Andy & I took turns sleeping....so overall I think we are doing pretty good. We are typical first time parents and freaking out over every little thing! In a hospital the nurses kept checking her temp. along w/ everything else we had questions on - Now we are on our own! Why were we in such a hurry to leave the hospital is a mystery to me now - we had it made! I will post more this week along w/ more pictures that I still need to download off my computer. Today we are just going to enjoy this rainy day and relax w/ our little girl - well, maybe not relax - I am sure Elizabeth has other plans for us. We are hoping to see Audrey this weekend b/c it has been hard not to see her yet! We love you little Audrey. Our Saint Elizabeth website pictures are up on the hospital website....They turned out 'ok' but it was after she had a bunch of test and she was NOT in a good mood. Have a great day & thanks for all your comments on the blog - we love looking at them. Love, the Ruwe's
