A week of firsts

Thanksgiving weekend was Linnea's first overnight trip with her mother. We spent Tuesday night at Grandma and Grandpa R's house and Wed-Thursday at Great Grandpa and Grandma R's.

Friday was her first shopping trip! Great Grandma R went with us to downtown Holland. We stopped in at Tin Ceiling to find Swedish ornaments.

Getting Linnea into the wonderful Snugli. It was great to have her right next to me, keeping us both warm, and leaving my hands free to shop!

A pewter Linnea flower christmas ornament. This is a pink twinflower, ground cover found in mossy forest areas of Sweden.

Checking out fabric with Great Grandma. Never to early to introduce her to crafts!

SO happy she's finally here.

It's been an amazing week and a half since Linnea's arrival. We're settled at home this week after so many doctor outing last week to keep a close watch on her jaundice. Stressful for mom and baby, I think. SOOOO glad that's over.

Linnea has turned out to be a good eater after a rough start, but is willing to sleep for decent periods, too. The sleep deprevation isn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. Still getting close to the same amount of sleep just not all at once.

More this weekend....:)
