lucy, 7 days old

is there anything more beautiful than a sleeping baby? i could just eat her sleepy self right up. lucy just finished a biiiiiig meal and was so content i decided to snap a few pictures of her snuggled up on my bed. you would not believe what a heavy sleeper she is, she slept NON. STOP. for the first two weeks of her life straight.

example. my mom and i took her to the pediatrician's office when she was five days old. she was due to eat right before our appointment so i nursed her on one side while we waited for the doctor to come in. after the exam, the plan was to feed her on the other side while we sat in the car. ooooooh, no. we tried EVERYTHING to wake her up. rubbing her feet, tickling her back, i was DYING. my milk had just come in and i HAD to feed that baby. we literally stripped her NAKED and rubbed ice cubes from my water on her body while the AC was BLASTING!! i felt sooooooo mean, and guess what? IT DIDN'T EVEN WORK. =) oh, and my boobs? they exploded actually. thank you for asking.

anyway, here's my sweet girl napping the day away.

i especially LOOOVE the funny faces newborns make. i could watch her sleep for hours. she's just perfect.
