2 Weeks Old

Wow, my baby does something new everyday and there are always something to discover!

Her skin is peeling.  She's got grandma hands and feet, but we are not supposed to put lotion on her, so I hope the new skin comes out soon.  Her skin around the eye lid area peels frequently and her lips, oh my...it looks painful, but she does't mind her blistered lips.

The patio has started!!!  Guys come out everyday and they are making progress.  It already looks nice and I cannot see the finished patio with a deck.  I think it will be warm by the time it's ok for Haley to go outside :)

My company sent her a personalized teddy bear!!!!  One paw says "Haley" and other one says "Sakura".  The bear has tutu and wings.  It's soooo cute!!!!  Thank you, Elysium

New Teddy Bear!

She started doing this "reflect movement".  It usually happens during sleep and it's so cute and funny!  Suddenly, she puts her arms and legs wide open and it looks like a Franken Stein!!!  This is called "Moro or Startle reflex".  According to one source on google, a baby does this to protect herself from harm.  Interesting....

We gave her a first bath!  We thought she was going to cry for sure, but you know what?  She seemed to enjoy the nice warm bath!!  I think the water tempature has to be right and it was.  She was so relaxed and we put her in the Elmo's bath robe!  Too cute!!!  She smelled so nice after the bath and looked really clearn :) 

Comfy~

All clean!!

Mountains of pills.....yes, I am taking so many pills now.  Those pills include: vitamin, omega3,  fenugreek, stool softner & herbal tea.  The total of 17 pills and 3-5 tea a day!!!!  Since I am pumping, all of them are good for my baby, so I will take whatever I need!!

They are good for you, Hay!

It was such a nice & warm day on Saturday.  Haley was only 2 weeks old at this point and I heard that it's good to wait taking her to a public place until a month later, but we couldn't resist to walk her in a stroller.  It was really sunny and we put a soft and warm blanket on her and put up a cover so that she wouldn't get a direct sunlight.  It was just sooooo nice to get out of the house and enjoy the nice day with 3 of us.  I cannot believe that we now have an addition to our family.  It was so peaceful to walk our neighborhood and we are so happy!!

Let's enjoy the sunny day!

It was Joe's mom's BD dinner, so we went over to his parents house.  It was so much fun because Parker/Anderson/Emery were all there!!!  They loved the baby.  Parker and Anderson kept saying how cute Haley was.  Emery was so funny.  She had a little doll and trying to put Haley's diaper on the doll!!!  She is so active and has an amazing personality :)  After talking to Heidi, I learned that a nipple shield might help BF, so we went to go get one from Medela. I was excited to try to see if Haley latches the shield and she DID!!!  I had never seen her latching for that long time.  She is getting my milk via pump, but it will be nice if I have an option to nurse or pump, so I will have to keep trying.  BTW, we introduced her to a pacifier on Sunday.  She loves it and it works like a magic!!!!

Happy girl~
