nora ~ 1 week

Our little Nora is one week old today!  It is sometimes quite hard for me to grasp the reality that she is really here.  Last week I was at work, waiting for her to arrive and then finally (after a lot of quality time in the hospital) she arrived and our lives have definitely been forever changed.

Nora's favorites:
eating
pooping
sleeping
eating
tummy time (not really but we're working on it) 
car rides
eating
pooping
sleeping

It seems we spend a lot of quality time on the changing pad and in the recliner to nurse.  She has been a great eater and for the most part, a great sleeper.  We've started trying to keep her up for a few minutes at a time during the morning, afternoon, and night.  We work on tummy time, do some pull ups, and dance (well, mommy and daddy move my arms and legs, but I am a dancing machine).

I hope to post more pictures and a little run down on her arrival very soon.  Time goes so quickly and I haven't made the blog a huge priority.  Someone very cute has been demanding my time.  Currently she's spending some cuddle time with her dad, giving me some time to publish a post!

Nicole! She is here?! Yay, amazing!!! Congratulations!!! Love the name Nora, she's so adorable (look at all that dark hair)!! So glad you are home and spending your first weeks together. The onesie stickers are a great idea. Can't wait to hear more about your birth story, hope it wasn't too long and painful, yikes. Are you breastfeeding or bottle? So happy for you! (Ps. You look dynamite in your 40 week belly pic.)
