It is hard to believe that one week has already flown by! In some ways I am glad cause that means not much longer and the nursing bit will get better. Little miss is like clock work. She nurses every 2 hrs...will be glad when that is more like 3-4 hrs! She can get a bit fussy when she doesn't want to be awake and for some reason confuses me with the pacifier. We will definatley have to work on that one! ;)She has plenty of ready and willing hands to hold her. The kids all ask for her daily. Even Heath has warmed up to her and now gets excited to see her when he first wakes up in the morning. Chad is a great big brother and loves to hold her. After we got back from the hospital he was begging that we watch a movie together while he and the other kids took turns holding Laney.
Heath is so excited to show people his baby that if I am nursing he has no qualms about lifting the nursing cover to show his baby! We have been having talks about not showing Laney's bottles to others! :) So far it is getting better and he is respecting mine and Laney's privacy.
Alyssa has been trying her hand at changing the diapers without complaint. She asks to do it! Why can't they all be like that!?! :)
Bria loves to rock and sing to her and to help pick out what she is going to wear.
She already has two nicknames. The Lanester...dubbed by Chad and Laney-bug, something Aunt Chel helped think of!
The dog knows her as baby and every time you say "Come see baby" or "Where's the baby?" his tail starts wagging and one time he went to the swing to try and find her, but she was in her bassinet. He was a little disappointed.
We also had Laney's first photo session with my friend, Amy. You can get a sneak peek here. More to come soon!

I still can't get over how much she reminds me of Heath/Lyssa. Crazy!
I love that Heath is showing off Laney's "bottles". hahahahahaha
You've got some great kids. I can't wait to come back for another snuggle-fest with the newest one.
Oh...and I LOVE the nickname Laney-bug!! SO cute!
Are YOU feeling better?
And one more thing...you really should add the poor thing to your sidebar pictures and maybe update your header. I mean, seriously, it's not like you're busy or anything. ;)
What a sweet family! All too soon the newness wears off and no one wants to help or share a room, lol. I hope nursing and schedule work out soon. Every 2 hours always felt like, as soon as you were done with both sides, burping, diaper changes, it was time to start again anyway. At least you have a great excuse to just sit and stare at her for hours, lol.
She is so sweet! Definitely reminds me of Heath! (I wasn't around when Alyssa was a babe.)
Been meaning to come by, but time seems to slip by faster when hubby is gone. That and I hate stopping in when it is unexpected.
Anyhoo, she is a cutie!!
She is such a cutie!
You've made it a week . . . congratulations! I can tell this is one LOVED baby. :)
What a sweet, beautiful baby. I keep showing Adam pictures so he'll be ready and waiting for his brother. : ) Congratulations again!
Congrats! What a little doll! She sure does sound loved! :)
She is beautiful. I'm glad she is accepted into the family and that you have a lot of help.
I hope nursing gets better. Hang in there!
One week down...not long now til she starts sleeping all night! I love the picture of her all scrunched up in the basket. What a doll.
Oh what an amazing, sweet, PERFECT little baby. Enjoy each sleepless night, it goes by far too fast!!
Yay one week! She is a beauty and I've enjoyed going through all of her photos. I have some more I just posted! I hope you can break her of the "mommy pacifier" soon.
