Life with baby . . .

  It's been three weeks now with our new bundle of joy. Everything has been so much better than I had ever expected. We have adjusted fairly well to our new routine. It was a little rough learning how to do things on someone else's schedule and with one hand. But we've managed to catch on. I find that if I get through the shower before noon, it's a good and productive day! I think all of our friends and family have seen me in my robe with a good case of bed head and second day make-up going on. Oh well, that's just how it goes I guess. Jordan has been working his tail off at Lone Pine helping my parents. He loves the work, but the hours are long. So we go over every weekend day to spend time with him and my family. We all do so much better out of the house. We definitely have an outside baby. Which is great because Jordan and I are on the go most of the time. We found ourselves the first few days getting so stir crazy that we could barely stand each other. But as soon as we got out of the house we felt so much better :)
  Austyn had her first doctors appointment last Wednesday and everything was perfect. Her weight hadn't got back to her birth weight, but I'm sure by now it has. Our next appointment is in two months. She is still a really good baby, as long as she is  fed, changed, and bounced. I have just started pumping and we introduced the bottle to her the other day. I wasn't sure what to expect, but she didn't even bat an eye at it. She sucked it down in no time flat. We were amazed. Jordan loves feeding her. He said it makes him feel like she needs him :) I love it when he's home from work. It is so nice how much he helps and does with her. It gives me a little break mentally and physically too.
  Not too much has been going on other than baby stuff. I can't believe it's already been three weeks. Man time sure does fly by. Kind of scary. Here are a few recent pictures of Austyn. Enjoy!!
