I just got home from seeing my doctor. I wish I could say it was all fun, but I can't...I'll just say it went pretty well. :) The best part was when he would give me back to Mommy so she could hold my bare body close and warm me back up! My doctor is very nice and my parents like him a lot. He checked me all over and, without too many tears, I got a good report. Yea!!! He said it is very good that I have already gained back my birth weight. I am now 7lbs. 14oz. I'm considering a diet, but that milk is so good...While I'm here I wanted to mention a couple of firsts I've had since I last wrote. I got in my crib for a nap a couple of days ago and loved it! I slept sooo good! It is very spacious as you can see in the picture. :) I also tried out my swing. Is so soothing to me, especially when Daddy plays my Jack Johnson music for me to listen to. I fall asleep in it easily, but I don't mind. I fall asleep easily just about everywhere. I'll take that as a good sign that I am staying very comfortable and I love being with my parents!
Today, I turned one week old. I celebrated by eating and sleeping (surprise!). Since I was born, Miss Colorado was crowned as Miss Teen USA 2007, most Oklahoma children have returned to school, and Jen was FINALLY kicked off of big brother. WOW, what a busy week!
Today, Grandma Al and Connecticut cousins Natalie and Haylie are coming to visit me - I can't wait! Well, its time for, you guessed it, yet another nap, so I'll talk to you later!
My name is Esther Sue and I arrived on Monday, August 20th, at 3:35 am! I am really healthy and pretty much everyone seems to think that I am cute too! Mommy and Daddy brought me home 2 days after I was born and since then things have been going great. Since we arrived home, I have enjoyed sleeping in my bassinet (thanks Grandma Al!), eating whenever I can, and being held by whoever wants to hold me (I've had lots of visitors).Today was my first time to leave the house since arriving. It was a special day because today I went to Church for the first time. I got to go up in front of all the people and I even got my own Bible! After Church, I went with my parents, Uncle Jeff, Aunt Jamie, and all four of my grandparents to some place called Cracker Barrel. It was really loud, but I managed to tune it all out and go to sleep. After we left Cracker Barrel, I went back home for some quality time with the fam.
I've used seven diapers today, which really seems to impress my Mommy for some reason - I bet she can't wait until I do ten or twelve in a day! It's been a really busy day, but I need to go for now because it's time for my bath. I hope to everyone updated because I know you love to hear what's going on with me. Until next time,
