One Week Old

Papillon is 1 week old (as of last night).
And goodness, has she spoiled us. Not that there haven't been tough times (largely thanks to post-pregnancy hormones, and the painful joys of breastfeeding), but really, these first 7 days of new-born parenting have been a delight.


The cuteness, of course, helps with that delight.


As does the essentially sleeping through the night part. Papillon is a sleeping champion. Consistently asleep by 11pm, I force her awake around 3am for the shortest feed ever, after which she falls sound asleep until I make her get up at 7am.

Trying to get her to wake up is the hardest part of our night time routine. Trust me though, I am NOT complaining; I am enjoying it while it lasts (guessing it won't last forever).

And one more picture for good measure. One of her many pensive looks.

She is so sweet! And, WOW. What a great sleeper! Enjoy it. Our littlest gave us no sleep for the first two weeks! He's sleeping great now, but boy were we tired for the first few weeks. :)

Children do bring so much joy! They are just such fun and each stage is wonderful. She's beautiful and I'm so happy for you.

I love this.
And the painful joys of breastfeeding really do get better. It took a good three weeks until I realized it almost didn't hurt.
