Snowing in Austin??

Since we are due for snow on Friday, Abby and I decided it was time to break out the "baby Uggs" and her cute little outfit from Great Grandma Heign.

She's such a show off... :)

Da Bears

*Thank you Great Uncle Jeff and cousin Jeff* :)

Mommy's first outing...

Yesterday marked 2 weeks postpartum after the c-section which means I was given clearance to drive! Yeah! So my big outing today was to Target.

On my way home I get a call from Matt. Of course I'm assuming the baby is upset/mad/hungry/cranky or all of the above. But as it turns out, it was Daddy that was upset/cranky/mad. haha

Abby is very "regular" in that she is going through diapers like a crazy baby. Sometimes she goes a couple times even while we are changing her! But today was the best day of all. Matt got to experience the first projectile poop diaper change...and he was all by himself to handle it! Apparently she did such a good job, she even got poop 3 feet across the room onto the door of the nursery as well as the carpet. :)

Good job Abby - way to break Daddy in (and while Mommy is away....)!

Here is how they both felt about it:

Thanksgiving Dinner

Having a newborn during the holidays brings on a lot of new challenges. Just to mention a couple:

1. I only have a certain time frame for which I can have a glass of wine in between feeding Abby. I love wine, so this IS a big deal. :)

2. I've had to master the art of eating while soothing a fussy baby girl.

But of course, neither Matt or I would change this for anything.

Thank you Vic and Elaine for all you did this week for us. Between cooking all the meals, doing all the laundry, cleaning all our floors in the house, and doing the landscaping...we can't even begin to tell you how much we appreciate it!

The happy Guggenheim Grandparents all Longhorn'd out:

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Today is a good day to remind us of all we have. Matt are very thankful for our perfect, healthy, beautiful little girl and our very supportive families that love her dearly.

Wishing everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving.

Beauty sleep

Please don't disturb me during my beauty sleep.

Milk Coma...

Mmmmm - the milk coma. I love the milk.

Champion Eater or Overachiever?

Abby had her 2nd Pediatrician's visit this week. And she weighed in at 8lbs 7oz! The doctor told us that she hopes babies gain back their birth weight by the time they are 2 weeks old. Abby was only 10 days and is 7oz OVER. I think she's my little champion eater. Matt thinks she's a little overachiever. :)

Abby's photo session

Abby had professional photos taken while we were still at the hospital. It's a great service since they capture the brand new baby photos without ever leaving the room. So no need to expose her to all sorts of germs at photo shoot somewhere else! Here are a few of them....!
