10 Weeks Already?

10 weeks ago today Zoe was born. It's hard to believe that so much time has gone by already. Thinking about it, how it has been a while, but not really that long, it seems like a blur, but as I sit here working on her baby book, trying to decide which of daddy's memories to share, things are coming back. Like how the first movie Zoe and I watched together was Die Hard, which may have been highly inappropriate, but it was edited for TV and she slept though most of it. Then there was the time I was changing her in the hospital with the assistance of Becky (Aunt Viento) and Zoe pooped on me for the first time.

Ahhh, memories.

Anyway, this past Sunday we went into New Hope to meet Orly and Anton. It seemed like a great idea at the time; however, it quickly dawned on us that on Sunday, New Hope is a crowded place and probably not the best place to bring a newborn. Regardless, we still had a great time. Zoe got to sit with her dad in the shade as well as droll profusely all over his arm.



While I have been at home, John had been visiting with Zoe, Cheryl and me. On Tuesday night he actually came by and watched Zoe while Cheryl and I went out for a quick dinner nearby. The two of them had a great time just lounging on the couch watching TV. Sadly, there aren't any other pictures, but needless to say, Zoe had a good time.

Along with all of that, Zoe turned 2 months old on the 15th. I had tried to take the pictures that day, and then the following weekend, but the lighting and weather never seemed to work out. I did finally manage to get a couple of good shots this week, which have been posted to Zoe's set and which you can see here.

Meet the Flintstones?!?

Cheryl wanted me to share the following with everyone. These are her words, not mine. Frankly, I know I'm the lucky one. So obviously the blog is Michael's thing, which is great really because if it were up to me it would have started and ended with 99 days left! But I wanted to make a post so I could thank Michael for everything he has done for me throughout this pregnancy and most of all during delivery. There is no question that being with Michael is the smartest thing I've ever done and Zoe is lucky to call him Dad. The reason we had a planned c-section was that Zoe was 'unstable lie'. In the 4 weeks before she was due she was breech, head down, breech, and then head down again. As it was explained to us, this is pretty rare. They expected that even if she was in the right position when I went into labor, she would turn during contractions creating a dangerous situation for all of us. The day of surgery I was still pretty calm. Once I was prepp...

Zoe Ninja Warrior

In looking for something to do over the weekend, Cheryl found a gym nearby that has Ninja Warrior equipment and allows children Zoe's age. They had an open drop in time on Sunday from 4:45pm to 7:15pm. To prepare for her day, Zoe put on her exercise outfit, added some body glitter on her shoulders and then used markers to make some tattoos. She looked especially cute and tough. Once we got in, she was all over the place: running up the wrapped wall, swinging on the ropes and rings, jumping on the trampoline. She tried so many times to get up that wall. As soon as the boy in front of her got up it, she was up on her next run. That's a 10 foot wall. Two and a half times her height, and was right up it. She was so excited to get up that thing. Cheryl and I even got in on the action, trying out the different equipment. Here she is, looking amazing at the apex of a bounce on the big trampoline. Zoe was also all over the gymnastics equipment. She really enjoyed sw...

She Poops Because She Cares

One week ago today, Zoe was born. She seems to have adjusted to life in West Philly fairly well. Her pink blanket is one of her favorites to snuggle up with; however, we did learn that much like her father, she hates to bathe. So her first appointment with the peditrician was Wednesday at 11:00am. She seemed to enjoy her ride in the car again, and by that I mean she was passed out the whole way there. The doctor said she was looking good. The jaundice that she had in the hospital is no longer a concern now that she's eating and going to the bathroom regularly. Also, she's working her way back up to her birth weight. After being born at 8lbs 8ozs, she dropped down to 7lbs 13ozs when she was discharged from the hospital. At her appointment she weighed in at 8lbs 3ozs. Later in the day while I was out shopping for essentials (and comic books) Zoe was getting fussy with her mother. We're not entirely sure what the issue was, but we did find out that she loves her swing....
