week one

Sofia has been here one week!!! We can not believe it! She is a GREAT baby! She struggled with jaundice for the first week home which resulted in lots of time in a light box they sent to our house and several trips to the hospital to get labs drawn... today we went for her one week check up and got the good news that she was allowed to come out of the light box and was up to 7lbs in weight, she has already passed her birth weight (GO SOFIE GO!). She has taken to nursing so well, we have had zero problems! She is a sweet baby and we are tired yet enjoying having her in our family!
Averi is doing well too... she wants to touch and hold her "baby" and does not seem to be jealous. She has struggled a little more with fits and going to bed, but we figure it is all part of so many changes. After some extra stories and cuddles she went to bed very well tonight! She too is a joy!
Kevins parents just headed home a couple hours ago! We can not express how much we appreciate them... they took such good care of us this last week. Playing and caring for Averi, taking night shifts to watch Sofie in her light box, changing diaper after diaper, cleaning our house, cooking us meals, doing our laundry...the list goes on and on. We love them so and are incredibly blessed to have their help, we miss them already!
Right now Averi is sound asleep... and sofie is snuggled with her daddy in our bed watching TV... life is good!
