**Well I started this post last Sunday and just coming back to finish at 5am on Saturday morning. Time with a newborn is sure busy but I want to make sure to remember our early days with our little baby. And I am not awake right now because of Hollis, I am just awake with too many things to do on my mind.**
My time in the past 3 weeks has been spent loving on and looking at our beautiful little girl but I don't want to forget about the old blog. I really want to document Hollis growing up so am really going to try and be better at updating this time.
We had a great relaxing weekend. It was our first weekend at home as a family of three since the hospital. My parents were here the past two weekends and we miss them terribly! But we had a very nice relaxing weekend just the three of us.
Friday I was very tired when Zann got home from work after having a baby who did not want to take a nap when I wanted to take a nap. We just had pasta for dinner and had an early night as soon as Hollis went to bed. I was able to pump a couple bottles during the week so Zann was nice enough to get up with Hollis Friday and Saturday night. Though I did wake up when he did to make sure she was ok but I was able to go back to sleep. Having a longer stretch of sleep made all the difference.
Saturday morning Hollis had her newborn pictures taken. She was such a sweet girl all morning. She was wide awake for almost two hours while we dressed and undressed her a million times and moved her into all sorts of positions. I don't think she even cried once. Her pictures are precious and I can't wait to share them once we pick the ones we want to use.

Here is one of the last picture we took (this is with my camera so not good quality) and she was tired out. I just love this picture. She is wearing the pearls that Zann gave me the second Christmas we were dating.
After all the picture taking we all took a little nap. I woke up to find these two sweets on the couch. Zann said he was lonely so he got Hollis out of her crib.
We had our first trip to the store in the Baby Bjorn.
Saturday night Mike and Milene came over for dinner to meet Hollis. Hollis loved just looking at Milene.
Sunday we had a very lazy day and stayed in our pjs until afternoon. Hollis kept her pjs on all day actually. She is wearing my favorite Kissy Kissy pjs and they are already almost too small for her. I keep putting her in them hoping its not the last time.
In the afternoon we took a walk around the "neighborhood". There is an Epilepsy clinic right down the street that has a petting zoo, playground, and a beautiful panoramic view of the lake. We found a bench and enjoyed the sunshine for a while.
It was the perfect fall day.
Walking around the neighborhood.
Hollis also tired out her swing for the first time. She didn't know what to think. There was music coming from one side, animals over her head, and rocking back and forth. She liked it for about 5 minutes then I think it was a bit much for her. We will try again this week.
I just loved our weekend as a family of 3 with nothing on the agenda just spending time together.
