Holiday Monday--Monday May 18, 2009.

Family Photo--2 weeks old

Annie is two weeks old today, it's amazing how time flies now that she is here. We spent the morning of Victoria Day relaxing as a family and we even got to sleep in until 8am, as Annie once again slept well.
That afternoon, my co-worker Lindsay (who is 28 weeks pregnant) dropped by to see Annie and I. It was really nice to see her as she and I shared the ups and downs of pregnancy together from day 1.

Annie was her usual charming self and was very happy when Lindsay feed her some breastmilk from a bottle. During the visit Mason and I shared some of our new parent tips.

Here's the advice we received but did not use at first--duh....

  • Say no, or limit visiting times at first. Mason and I did not do this and were zombies the first week.

  • Sleep when she sleeps....still working on this one during the day.
After our visit with Lindsay, we relaxed some more and Mason even had some time to take Skye for a much needed run before we left for dinner at Aunt Meg and Uncle Steve's house.

Dinner that night was awesome--not cooking for new parents is even better. Meg and Steve are getting married in 3 weeks so it was nice to have some time with them before they really get down to the wire with last minute planning. We can't wait for their wedding!

Love,
Amber, Mason & Annie
