1 week old

mya the day we brought her home.  her outfit is way too big and that bow takes over her head.  the funny thing is, that is one of the smallest bows she has. 
trent and i had wondered how weenie would react to mya.  he loves her.  he always wants to be by her and licking her.  anytime i put her down and she makes a noise he rushes over to her and watches me to see if i'm going to come get her. 
she is so tiny that nothing really fits her.  she wears premie diapers and i still have to fold them under.  i have a handfull of onsies that say they are nb but are rather small so she has been sporting those.  thanks aunt ashley for the cutie onsie!
mya is such a good baby.  she very rarely cries, eats like a champ and sleeps really well.  we are not on a schedule yet but the past couple of nights she has been going 2 1/2-3 hours in between feedings at night. her orange color is slowly fading!
she is already a sunbather.  because of her jaundice the doctor told us to put her by the window every day for about 15 mintues.  she loves it, we just lay her in the bath and she falls right to sleep just basking in the sun!

I can't believe how fast time flies.  I actually looked at the clock right at 12:08, which is exactly when she was born one week ago.  We have already been to the doctor to check her jaundice and she has gained her birth weight back plus 6oz.  trent and i have survived our first week as parents and have loved every minute.  trent went back to work yesterday but luckily his mom is still here!

Great work! She looks great...sounds a lot like my Ekena when she was born. I bought 2 premie outfits and she lived in them because they were all that fit!
