Scarlett: 1 week

Scarlett is officially one week old! It's been an adventure so far. After 4 nights in the hospital, we came home a little groggy and jumped right into parenthood with our little one who has a GREAT set of lungs! :)

Today she went to the pediatrician and she weighs in at 8lbs 9 oz-- 3oz more than her birth weight! The Dr was very impressed at our healthy eater.

I had a great first Mother's Day-- a relaxing lunch and quick wine taste in Sonoma with Jeremy and Scarlett, my in-laws, and brother-in-law, Luke, who was in town visiting.

Today was my first day home ALONE! Jeremy went back to work, so Scarlett and I were on our own-- So far, so good. We've both taken 3 hour naps, managed a quick walk with Hazel, and nursed A LOT. Jeremy will be home from work any minute and we are cooking up some homemade turkey burgers.

Day 1 at home!
