1 Week

Today Anthony is one week old! He is absolutely the most perfect baby. He is mild-mannered and almost never fusses. He's strong and healthy and I am completely obsessed and head-over-heels in love with him.

Yesterday, Matt and I took him for his one week check up with Dr. Eden. We really like our pediatrician and he had only good things to say about Anthony. He's in perfect health and steadily gaining weight back. He's strong and all of his vitals and reflexes are right where they should be. I'm so happy that he's healthy, it makes me (a little) less worried. (I'm a worrier by nature, slightly paranoid at times.)

I scheduled Anthony's newborn photos with JCPenney yesterday for this Sunday. We're going to have him wear his personalized onesie and hat and we'll be giving these photos out to family and friends as soon as we get them. I'm very excited to see how they come out!

Yesterday I got an Alex and Ani in the mail from my mom as a congratulations gift! It's the hand in hand bangle with the saying "A mother holds a child's hand for a moment, but their heart for a lifetime". It was so sweet and, of course, made me cry!

Here's Anthony's 1 week picture:
