I can't believe that Rowan is 8 days old already. I'm so afraid of time going by quickly now that she's here. As silly as it may seem, I kind of want her to stay like this forever. She has already changed a lot physically over the past week. She was back up to her birth weight by day 5, and the nurse was amazed. She said that they don't expect that until 2 weeks. Breastfeeding is going a little better. I haven't gotten frustrated with it yet, so that's good. Rowan is seriously a wonderful baby. The only time that she cries is when she's getting her diaper changed, when she gets hungry, and when she's getting a bath. Otherwise, she basically sleeps all day. The past few nights she has even slept almost all night. I feel like I have it really easy with her. I know that I'm lucky. In fact, she's sleeping away in her moses basket as I type. I know that experts say that babies don't smile until about 6 weeks and that it's just gas, but it seems like she does. I was singing to her yesterday, and she had this huge smile and even let out a little coo. When we put her on her belly for tummy time, she can lift her head up a little bit and can even scoot herself around. Anyway, I am just totally in love with her.
