Libby's First Week Firsts

It's hard to believe that Libby has only been in our lives a week. What did we ever do without her? She has certainly had a busy week, especially when you consider that she sleeps over half the day. Here are some of her "firsts" from the past few days:

Friday 12.28:

• first look at the world
• first visitors at the hospital (Auntie Michelle, Nana, Ashley, Papa & Mary)
• first dozen roses from her Papa
• first facetime (with Grandma, Auntie Lindsay & Adi)

Saturday 12.29:

• passed her first test (hearing)
• first failed class (breastfeeding, lets hope she never fails another class again)
• she survived her first big new england snow storm (in the cozy hospital)

Sunday 12.30:

• first road trip (3 miles from hospital to home)
• first look at her new home
• first out of town visitors (Auntie Johanna & Joe)
