Your first smile

You had a big smile today after bath.  You cooed And had a big smile at mama.   What a privilege for me to see that. 

Sleeping since 9 till noon!

That's record. After feeding almost every two hours you slept a long stretch and it's hard to wake you. 

16 days

16 days since you were born.  You gained weight the last four days and I am so thankful. Now you weigh 7lbs and 11 oz.  We were worried that you were not gaining weight. 

This morning I did some skin to skin with you and carried you in a ring sling in the late afternoon, gave you a bath and more skin to skin to warm you up after your bath.  You slept so well right after and just did your first dream feed! Amazing! You are sleeping in my arms right now as I write this. Love hearing you breath and all the little newborn sounds!  Papa gave you a kiss before he went to bed.  Your Gege loves you and jiejie loves you all a lot.  I love you my dear Emi! You are a gift from God. 

Sweet gift from a friend of mama's for you
