Fearfully & Wonderfully Made

It seems like forever since I've picked up my iPad to write a blog. Is it me...or does it seem like the second you have a baby (at home) time passes so quickly and the days and weeks seem to fly by!?! Don't get me wrong, her time passed by relatively quickly in the NICU, but now it seems like that was decades ago. Crazy it was just a week and a half ago I was basically living at the hospital and now we have settled into our daily routine at home and we are absolutely loving it. Or as Jonathan would say, he's "loving this dad thing". He is so sweet with her it blows my mind. I always knew he would be an amazing dad, I just didn't know how great it would be and how much I would love watching him just watching her!

Since we have been home, my days are longer and my nights are definitely shorter...but there just doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day to love on our little Jayden! Her first appointment with her pediatrician was last Friday (ya I know it's taken me forever to write about it)...but it went great! She gained weight, she weighed in at 4 lbs 7 ounces! And the doctor said she is looking amazing! I think Jayden is close to 5 lbs now...she is definitely feeling heavier when we pick her up. Jonathan and I went to Costco yesterday and bought a 6 lbs package of ground beef...when we got to the car I told Jonathan it's weird to think that package weighs more than Jayden (even more weird to think it is double what her birth weight was!!)

I'm so excited today we hung the first decorations in the nursery! And I must say, her room is definitely coming together! :) We have some of her furniture ready for her also! So far we have her crib, changing table, rocking chair and bookshelf! Everything looks adorable and it looks better than I thought it would! I can't wait until her room is ready, even though she won't be sleeping in there for a while, it will be nice to have it complete. This week we are also getting her dresser and a glider chair for our room delivered by Wednesday! It will be nice to have all of her clothes in the dresser instead of in the hallway. Her stuff has quickly taken over our house. I told Jonathan he needs to get used to it ;-)

Tomorrow morning we have her newborn photoshoot! I'm so excited to see how the pictures turn out and I can't wait to share them :-)

First nursery decorations :-)

Jayden's bookshelf full of books from friends and family!!
