So... we survived the first week, though having both Jeff and my mom here was a godsend. We took turns changing, laundering, holding, feeding, burping, pumping - oh, but only I can do that - and all the other ings one never even thought about before having a child.Josie's first doctor's appointment went great (see photo) - she has almost maintained her birth weight, weighing in at 7 lbs even. She made a terrific impression by screaming through the entire exam. She has a set of lungs on her, which makes Gram Jane awful proud.
Jeff went back to work today, which was sad... it was nice having a whole week with just our little family. But Mom and I had fun, entertaining company, supervising the sewer guy (don't ask) and even taking a stroll down the river walk, though it took us half an hour to figure out how to get the carseat into the travel stroller frame.
Even though she's only 10 days old, Josie is showing her unique personality - lots of funny faces, squawks, and fast eating - like her father. Per request, lots of pics posted in the galleries to the right - Back soon!

That is definitely my favorite picture (yellow shirt, JD sleeping on your tum). She looks like a little person, not someone who is 4 days old in the pic.
Um, hellooo, you forgot to mention the strong bond that formed between Josie and Awntie Em. !! This is very important. The weekend was MUCH more fun with her around....
Nice job with the genes-passing, tho, for realsies. She is so cute it's painful.
:P
