It's Been One Week...

...and I think she's a keeper. Zara has been adjusting well (I think, since I really have very little frame of reference) and we are sure enjoying our first week as parents. Zara is an "energetic" eater and we think her weight should be back up above the birth weight when we go to the pedi for the second appointment Monday. She is also starting to have a couple active periods during the day, meaning just awake and not needing to be fed, and has enjoyed her last couple soaks in the bath.

I probably still have the biggest adjustment to get used to and that is the sleeping in only 2-3hr shifts. It's going ok and I'm getting better at falling asleep fast which was never something I have done naturally. But since I don't have to be up for work being on maternity leave, I eventually get enough sleep one way or another. But one week down and no major crises.

Also they are FINALLY finishing the kitchen remodel work today, I'll throw a picture up (really, a non-Zara picture) when they clear out later. The days they work (since it hasn't been continuous) we have retreated to the study to stay out of the way and close off from the noise.
