First Week Memories: Azalie Hope

First week memories-

Newborn hair feels like velour- and black is adorable!! I don't like to put hats on her head because it covers up her beautiful head full of black hair!

She is so cuddly and tiny! I love how she still curls up in a ball on my chest to sleep.

Lainey is a smotherer- she grins from ear to ear when she can touch her or hold her. And calls her "baby zay-we"

Keira loves to be a proud big sis and tell her name to everyone but beyond that isn't too interested.

Daddy is a huge help!!

This week has been like a vacation, we did st. Pattys at chick fil a, got to see aunt Charis, and uncle Nate and meet baby Lydia, and see aunt faith and aunt charity and uncle Levi. We got to meet both great grandparents, and spend lots of time with both our grandparents. We bought a car, sold a car, and did some shopping and went out to eat. It has been a great week of family time, and I have actually slept better than I did the last month or so of my pregnancy. Daddy has been staying up with her at night when she wasn't hungry , and she is already is a good routine of eating every 3 hours like clock work!!  :) she is my best nurser, and sleeps pretty good as well, although she still has her days and nights a bit mixed up (midnight-3 am is her awake time).  She has had a clogged tear duct but it's getting better already.

She likes to be held more than anything else and hates being cold/ having her diaper changed.

She likes a paci, but is not addicted to it.

She often clenches her fist, and we joke that she leads a stressful life. ;)

She is a joy and we are so thankful to have another beautiful, healthy little girl in our family. She is a blessing from God for sure! :)

I think she has Keira's coloring, and Lainey's facial expressions with her own facial features that look like gpa Dwight and the Oswald side more.


People who were pregnant at same time: of course Charis had Lydia 9 days before and it has been SOO fun having a twin cousin close to share these first moments with. My friend Tennille who has a boy born the same week as Keira, had a little girl two weeks to the day after Zalie. Andrea, a great friend, had her little boy 3 weeks after Zalie.Laura, another girl from church had her baby a week and a half after Zalie.  During the time I was pregnant there have been a TON of girls in our church pregnant or having babies, it is so fun to have 8-10 other girls to go through this stage of life with at the same time!! 

Gma lea says out of the 3 girls she looks the most like Austin.
