Happy One Week Avery

This week has flown by. We cannot believe Avery is already a week old. Still trying to navigate parenthood but things are going pretty smoothly. Avery has been such a good baby. She is eating well, sleeping for about 3 hours at a time during the day and at night (would not have thought that would be considered a good stretch of sleep before she was born), she really only cries when she is hungry or has gas, and she is comfortable being put in her bouncer or bassinet for decent stretches of time so we can do normal adult things (ie shower, eat dinner, do laundry, go pee... seriously, a 5 minute shower is now a godsend). As tough as it is adjusting to this new (but amazing) lifestyle, she is definitely making it easier on us. Chris has been such an amazing dad and I can already tell that Avery is going to be a daddy's girl. Avery and I have been so lucky to have him. He is back at work and we are beginning to establish a regular weekly routine. Memphis is also adjusting very well, loving her new sister. She is so gentle and curious, loves to give her kisses and is always checking on her to make sure she is doing okay. Avery had her first doctors appointment and the doctor was thrilled. Everything looks great and Avery is already almost back up to her birth weight, now weighing 8lbs 6oz. All is well at the Barrett household!
