At first we weren't sure how Fiona was going to take the news that she was being replaced...hehe it's okay to say that, right? She was very curious at first, sniffing everything. The first time she heard Johanna cry, she cried right along with her to let Mommy and Daddy know Johanna needed something. She has been a very good girl, hasn't even jumped once!
Johanna has acquired a new nickname, Johanna-Banana. She got a tiny bit jaundice(d?) and had a little yellow tone to her skin. It has gotten a lot better, but here she is riding in her swing content as can be looking like a little banana baby.
On Johanna's second day of being at home we decided to take her on a stroll to the mailbox and test out the new stroller. We really lucked out and the weather has been phenomenally warm for the season. I am sure it is soon to change and we'll get hit hit with a snow storm any day. Johanna absolutely loved being outside!
Just to be sure she was warm enough though, we were extra precautions and bundled her up in the little marshmallow suit GiGi got for her. She had this look of "are you kidding me mom!?" the entire time. Jeff said now I can stop dressing up the cats and dogs because I have a baby to torture now...hehe...
Here she is bouncing in her chair listening to classical music, maybe she will have a taste for it like her Mommy does?
Jeff and I were sitting on the couch last night reflecting on the week before. Her birth was such an awesome/exhilarating/emotional experience it brings tears to my eyes every time I think about it. I can't believe she is already a week old!
She is the perfect snuggle-bug.
Jeff calls this her "touchdown!" pose.
I haven't had her sleep in her crib, only for a few minutes at a time while Mommy straightens up her nursery. She looks so darling in it.
We have had such a wonderful week, even though it has flown by. My Mom has been such an amazing help, a girl could get used to it! She has made us yummy delicious meals and has helped out so much around the house. I have been able to recover fully with being off my feet. Thank you so much Mom, I love you!!!

That is awesome, 1 week old, your feeling good, and I love all the pics, except don't forget to get in some of them too! :) I love the giant pink flower!! So great!
ReplyDeleteYay for picture of Johanna! I love all the baby gear you picked out. She looks so cute in all of them! You have inspired us to dig out all the baby accessories this weekend so we can remember what we have and make sure we're ready! I also like her nickname. Johanna Banana is definitely going to stick :)
ReplyDeleteAs a lover of headwear... both the hat and headband are SPECTACULAR. She's a very pretty baby. You will LOVE, love, love BOB. He will beckon you and get your buns outside and the babies love to ride in him. Do you have "Pinkalicious" yet? Sounds as if things are off to a great start! We are thinking of you and praying for you everyday. You will not believe how time quickly passes - I still can't get over Bitty being 2!
ReplyDeleteWow girl, seems like you guys have been busy-I love the comment "now you have a baby to torture" with the dressing up!!! LOL She is just darling! It's raining today, I was bummed was hoping to take our bob out... Funny that we have the same stroller and carseat or close to! Love all of your cute stuff, swing, bouncy-stuff I've never seen-going shopping for next baby with you;) Enjoy her!!!
