1 Week Old

Happy 1 week birthday Levi!

In the first week of Levi's life:
- Day 1 and 2, lots of crying but since then he has been very consolable (change diaper, feed, or just needs to be held.)
- I didn't know if I would be a pacifier person but due to the crying on day 1 & 2 I thought I would give it a try and Levi loved it. He had been latching and feeding really well up until then. I don't know if it was the pacifier or something else but since then, latching has been very frustrating. Let's just say there has been no more pacifier since that one time.
- Takes most of his naps in his car seat that clicks into the swing. I have LOVED this swing!
- When I received them, I thought, "who needs 4 swaddle blankets?" Well now I am glad I kept them. Last night, Levi peed through his diaper and had to be completely changed 3 times which meant that he woke up this morning in swaddle blanket #4.
- He consistently eats every 2 hours
- He came out with long finger nails so on day 2, he had his first fingernail clipping
- He has had lots of visitors and I have to admit, he is so cute I would want to come visit all the time too=)
- Thank you Grandma Gail for staying with me the first week. I can't wait for you to come back and hold me and someday play with me. Love, Levi
- A lot of just trying to figure it out but Andrew has been amazing and we are doing well. Levi has brought so many smiles to our faces already. We can't wait to watch him grow!
