One Week



Aspen is one week old today. I can't believe how happy we are right now with our little girl. She is absolutely wonderful and better than I could have ever imagined. This birth experience was so completely different in so many ways than Max's. Much more calm. Breastfeeding is going so well this time. I can't believe it. I told Curt before the c-section that I had a pep talk with the "ladies" and told them that they weren't allowed to let me down this time, lol. I think they listened! I have a feeling we have many more months of breastfeeding ahead of us! I'm soooooo excited about this!

Aspen sleeps great too. I'm not totally exhausted this time and actually feel like I am getting some rest. She's waking up twice a night, but the first time she only wakes for about 10-15 minutes and then goes back to sleep. The second time she wakes takes longer because we usually have to change her diaper then too. Curt and I were saying that she's too good, it almost makes us want to have another, lol.

Anyways, I've been wanting to share lots more pictures with you, but I haven't had time to copy/paste all the links here. So you can view the whole gallery if you are interested. The gallery starts at the beginning, with my last ever belly picture two hours before the c-section.

Oh wait, the first set of pictures are from the last day...so they are a little out of order...oh well.
