Easy and Hard

Well the last few days have been wonderful, magical, amazing and exhausting.  Its funny the stuff that I thought would be hard has turned out to be easy and the stuff I thought would be easy turned out to be hard. 

For example, I thought changing diapers would be tough and that the first few times poop would be everywhere.  It turns out that I have a knack for changing her.  Well at least so far.  As of this morning we have only had 1 minor explosion, I am sure it won’t be the last.  I also filed her nails the other night, it seemed scary but once I started it was actually quite easy.

Ok, so the hard stuff.  Well the hardest thing so far has been finding stuff that would fit her.  When I looked at all the clothes we had I was sure that half of them would be too small.  It turns out that almost all of it was too big.  Even the diapers were too small.  So I went on a search and I got newborn (up to 10lbs) and preemie diapers (up to 6lbs).  Its was good that I got the preemie diapers because that is what she needs.  The problem is they are really hard to find.  See look how little she is.

The other hard part has been figuring out  what to dress her in to keep her warm but not hot.  Who would have thought that figuring out clothing for someone would be so hard.  After a couple of trials we have found a few daytime and night time outfits that seem to work and keep her comfortable.

Probably the hard part has been making myself put her down when she is fast asleep and I should be.  Its just so wonderful to hold her and feel her little warm body next to mine.  See here is me holding her in my special “if I hold her like this she stops crying” position.
