It has been one heck of a week! I'm pretty sure I've cried more in this past week than I think I ever have in my entire life! All I can say is I HATE hormones. haha. Luckily my loving husband has been super patient with my breakdowns (He also likes to explain to me exactly what is happening with my body because he had just learned about it all in his physiology class haha)..
But on to more important things.. We just can't get enough of our cute little bug! I'm sure most of you who have kids can agree that taking pictures of a new baby gets super addicting. Here are a few from the first couple days home from the hospital..
Trip to the pediatrician the day after we got home.. Ivy has a little fracture on her collar bone just from delivery (we've been told it's not uncommon). The hospital told us to make an appt. to see her pediatrician soon just so they can be aware of it and monitor it and what not... She looks so teeny next to her big daddy!
I know I look super happy in these pics and looking back on them now, I'm pretty sure it was because I was hyped up on vicodin for a couple days, LOL.. no worries tho, no more pain meds for me ;)
just chillin':
First outfit! It's the only one that fits her besides the tiny onesies I have.. I didn't buy many things that are newborn size. hopefully she chunks up soon. :)
First bath! just a sponge bath with Mema this time.. Maybe she will like the next one a little better, hehe:
Max found a cuddly space to take a nap.. He has been doing so well with the newest addition to our family. I can tell that he realizes how fragile and precious she is. He isn't a huge fan of her crying but he usually just seems more concerned than anything. If she has been crying for a lil while, he either heads to his kennel or sits near us just staring at us like "well aren't you going to do something??" haha he is cute.
Still more pics to come!! And maybe I will get around to posting a video soon too.. Oh and just wanted to say thanks to my Mom who has been here day and night helping us adjust to our new life! She has been a huge help. Thanks Mom! And also, thanks to those of you who have brought us meals as well! They are much appreciated!

I still think Ivy looks just like you! She is adorable. Give her some kisses from me. :)
Hang in there Kathryn....your emotions will level out and all will be good. Take advantage(in a good way) of your mom....she will be a BIG help!! Love the pictures...she is such a cutie!!
ha i know what you mean! i think i cried every day for a couple of months right after saira was born...i just had to keep reminding myself it won't last forever...and try to get some sleep. that helps with the hormonal roller coaster
Such cute pics! Ivy is adorable! And you look beautiful Kat! What an adjustment, eh?
I cried A LOT with Justin...I'm talking 10 days straight every night from 7-9pm totally emotional breakdown! Crying just felt good. Then it was like a switch went off day 11 and I was back to my normal self again...just with a baby. It was actually a really rough adjustment for me though and I finally started to get the hang of it all when he was like 2 months. She is really just so perfect Kathryn!!!
Gah, hormones are THE worst! And you just don't believe how bad it will be until it happens to you. I'm sure you're doing a wonderful job, though. And I am dying over your instagram photos - super sweet.
