Last night, Naomi ate at around 10:30, passed out, and slept until about 4 am. Granted, that's not exactly the norm. However, it's a fair testament to the fact that things have continued to go well with our newest addition to the fam. Besides the occasion request to kiss Naomi, Justin has pretty much gone about his business. Jasmine, however, is ready to open a daycare. And it's not just her intentions. Her level of help has truly been off the charts. She's so quick with a diaper and wipe that you'd think she was wearing a super hero baby changing utility belt (you simply think about changing a diaper and BAM there she is). From lactation consultant to baby shampoo attendant, that girl is on it. In the midst of her strong-willed, independent nature, she totally has continued to demonstrate the heart of a servant. A bit ironic, but a total joy to watch.
Mom and Dad? We're hanging in there, too. We're enjoying all of the extended family that has come and gone. We're also steady getting the house in order, and taking a moment every chance we get to simply enjoy this busy yet unique moment in time.
Baby Stats: As babies typically do, Naomi probably dipped below her birth weight during the first few days by at least about 6 or 7 ounces. But she was back up to 6 lb 12 ounces by her week 2 check-up. Not a single picture I've taken seems to demonstrate just how much smaller she is compared to her brother and sister during their first weeks of life. Funny how much of a difference a couple of pounds can make at this stage. As of now, we can't figure out if she is getting noticeably bigger every day (it sure seems like it) or if we're just a little less awed by her "teeny tiny-ness" everyday as we get used to her. Like most things, I'm willing to bet that it's a little bit of both.
