a Week Old Sweet Baby

I can't believe that it's already been a
week! Aly is doing sooo well. She's such
a sweet baby. She hates being put down
for any reason... She only wants to be
held and cuddled. We've put her in her
swing a few times, and she seems to enjoy
it until she realizes she isn't in our
arms, and then she starts to whimper. My
husband has to watch how he holds her -
she tries to find his nipples to nurse if
he holds her cradle-style.
Speaking of nursing, she's a pro! She
gravitates between cluster-feeding (every
hour or so) to long nursing sessions
followed by a 4-hour nap. She absolutely
hates pacifiers... I think it might be
because she's irritated there's no milk
coming out of them. She wants the comfort
of suckling though, so to keep her from
overfeeding, .I've had to give her the
breast she's already drained. It was a
bit rough on my nipples the first few
days, but they're toughening up.
She usually falls asleep while nursing,
but she'll wake back up once we put her in
the crib and start screaming. So .I've
had to let her sleep on my chest for a
half hour or so to make sure she's really
out before sneaking her into her crib. My
inlaws keep warning me that .I'll spoil
her, but I don't agree. Aly wants to feel
comforted in her mother's arms, and I
don't mind that in the slightest. I'd
prefer her want to be with me than for her
to not want to be touched. Besides, I
don't know if newborns can be spoiled
anyway. They don't have the mental
capacity to understand cause and effect
yet.
She smiles in her sleep! ~~~melt~~~ .I
know it's involuntary, but it's the most
beautiful smile! It perks me up when .I'm
sleep-deprived, lonely (husband went back
to work this week), and worn out. I can't
believe how much I love her.
Okay, .I'm done raving! Motherhood is
awesome. :)

Jillian - yeah, she has a whole .Classic
.Pooh theme happening. My grandmother
used to read the books to me when I was
little, so it always reminded me of happy
childhood memories. I was so happy when
they put out the .Classic .Pooh set! My
daughter will probably grow up sick to
death of .Pooh :(
melissa - she totally looks like her
daddy. Blonde hair and blue eyes all the
way!
