Highlights from Week 4

Evie had a few "firsts" during her 4th week. On 10/15, she had her first pumped bottle of milk, which she took well. I had been a little worried that she wouldn't readily accept a bottle since she rejected a pacifier for about a month, but she did well. Her acceptance meant that I could finally get out of the house for a few hours at a time, which was exciting. Don't get me wrong...I love my daughter dearly, but ever mom needs a break from time to time. That same day, Evie also had her first visit with Mr. Allan, my high school We the People teacher and friend, and she went to the local park. We didn't stay long because it was still really hot. On 10/16, she had her newborn photoshoot with Nikki, but I'll post more of that individually. On 10/17, she went on her first shopping trip to Target and Hallmark. Target was also Nile's first store! It's so important to me that they share these experiences.
