Mikey and Mommy

This was taken on Mikey's one week birthday (the 27th). He almost smiled for the camera with me. I'm wearing a new shirt my mom got me. Kevin brushed and braided my hair after I got out of the shower. He also rubbed lotion on my legs. A little pampering can do a lot for a tired mother! I'm feeling in pretty tip-top shape. My mom also watched Mikey for a few hours while Kevin and I went on a lunch date and then got some groceries.
I like to take naps with my baby and feel his little chest rise and fall. I accidentally gave him an imprint of a button on his cheek in this picture because he fell asleep on top of one of the buttons on my shirt.
This is Michael trying out the sling for the first time. He fits as snug as a bug! I got this on clearance from Babies R Us for I think $17. (It was actually free with gift cards from my CA baby shower. :)
Look! No hands! I think I might name this sling Grandma, since it may be holding Mikey a lot when Grandma goes back to California. Or I might name my baby swing Grandma. Or the bouncy seat. Mikey's gonna have a lot of substitute grandmas.

I am getting a moby wrap today, I can't wait! You look so good! Is he sleeping well? Eating well? We have the same little insert for the carseat, so cozy!

I AM THE ONLY GRANDMA THAT COUNTS (except for you, Cheryl). And besides, he won't need a substitute because he's coming to CA with me, remember?

He is SO cute! Congratulations. I am so happy everything went well (though long and hard) with the delivery.

You don't look like you just had a baby a week ago!! Go Jamie! I always loved napping with them on your chest. They are just so fun to snuggle (krista, i know you hate that word!) when they are that little, and will still let you!

Good times, pretty little mommie. I love snuggling babies. Wait! Why does Krista hate that word? Jana, a little enlightenment here please.
