Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!!! Love - Frank, Caryn, & Little Miss Vivi!

Guess who's one month old today?!

Look at me! I'm one month old today!!! Already I've grown so much. I now can make eye contact and follow your voice across the room. I also love watching the mobile in my swing, which I couldn't even see until last week! I like to lay on my changing table and coo and talk to whoever is around to hear me! I'm growing up so fast....already some of my newborn clothes are too tight! This week I've even gone almost 5 hours between feedings at night....but that was only once or twice to give my parents a sneak peek of what is to come. I'm still a little piglet and like to eat every 2-3 hours! Stay tuned to watch me grow....

XOXO-

Vivi

This Is Vivi's World And We're Just Livin' In It!

I finally have two hands to type! My plan is to update this blog'o'mine a little more than I have in the past now that Vivi's in the picture. What a whirlwind these last three and a half weeks have been. Frank and I have been in this weird twilight zone where we have no idea what day it is or what time it is. Last night I fell asleep on the couch and woke up to Saturday Night Live on TV. I had no idea it was even Saturday!

Things are getting better each day. It's either getting easier or we're getting used to surviving on no sleep. My body is feeling normal again too. Can I just say how amazing the human body is?! It's hard to imagine that just a few weeks ago I was HUGE and uncomfortable. Now, I can sleep on my stomach and back again AND without that huge pregnancy pillow that took up half our bed! Besides the whole breastfeeding thing and what that's doing to my body, I feel pretty normal again. It's a great feeling. I'm still about 10 pounds over where I started and I got a little overzealous the other day and tried on a pair of pre-pregnancy jean....HA! What a joke. Not quite ready for the pre-pregnancy jeans. :)

Well, gotta go...I hear Vivi waking up. Like I said, this is Vivi's world and we're just living in it.

More to come later!

Meet Vivienne Grace Arnold!!!

Little miss Vivi made her appearance on Wednesday, November 24th at 4:27 p.m.!! She weighed 7 pounds 1 ounce and was 20 1/2 inches long! More to come later when I actually have two hands available to type! :)
