Today, is Daniella's one week birthday and things are going great at the Becharas home. We think she looks a lot like her big sister, Marianna, but that is where the similarity stops. Daniella is a very quiet baby, she loves to sleep...so much so we usually have to wake her up for feedings during the night. She is a great nurser...and loves a paci! She doesn't cry much...yet... that might change but hopefully this is just the chill baby we have been waiting for :)
Marianna is doing great as a big sister. She has a lot of interest in "baby sister"...runs to her first thing in the morning, loves to give kisses and hold her. She is learning to be gentle with her and is a great helper! I couldn't have asked for a better transition home actually. We are a little surprised as we expected some regression with her.
Here she is...
Daniella's stats: 7lbs and 20 inches, born at 38 weeks and 2 days on November 5 at 7:38 in the evening. (mom had a great, short labor and an easy delivery, thankfully!!)
This is how Daniella loves to sleep, even a week later. No swaddle...She loves her hands too much and gets upset if they are hidden in her clothes.
Grandpa Stanczyk...
Proud Dad...
So peaceful...she had to wear the hat because she had a hard time regulating her body temp after delivery.
A visit from YiaYia and Papou...
The best OBGYN ever...Dr. Matoian! We love her!
Daniella's most alert time is early in the morning...
A visit from Uncle Nick and Thea Stephanie at the hospital..
Thea Demi, Thea Demi and Diana...
Here is Marianna's first visit with her baby sister...She was so excited and loved to tickle her.
Opening a present from baby sister to Marianna...A zoo!
Thank you baby sister!
A little unsure about holding her yet...Marianna is also confused as to why Daniella doesn't talk back to her because of the long conversations she would have with my belly! ;)
When we came home, Marianna was outside and couldn't wait to give her a kiss! Grandma and Grandpa stayed with her while I was in the hospital and were a huge help as usual!
Some pictures from home...
Thea Michele, Nicky, Maria and Alec came to visit on Sunday...
And that is it from our first days! I am sure there will be more to come if we could get her to stop sleeping!
