Suzy's first week

Worn out after a hard day of work for Papi and eating and sleeping for Suzy:

All dressed up for her first outing to the doctor's office...too bad none of her cute clothes fit her yet...she's definitely got her daddy's skinny legs:






I can't believe Suzy is already over a week old! I have totally lost all sense of time with our new crazy baby schedule. We were able to get a few things accomplished this week, such as registering Suzy at the city hall to be able to get her birth certificate (they almost didn't let us spell Suzy with a "z" because the didn't have any record of that name in their system, but with a little convincing, they let us...so weird for someone to tell you how you can name your child...)
also, we went for Suzy's first week checkup yesterday, which was an adventure trying to get everybody fed and bathed and in the car, an a shocker for me to actually see sunlight and get out of the house! the doctor said that all babies lose weight the first week, but Suzy has lost a pound, so he put us on a feeding schedule where she needs to eat every 2 hours round the clock. so we are adjusting to that schedule, and lets be honest, it doesn't leave much time at all for sleeping or anything else. also, i had a high fever all day on friday, and found out that i have a urinary tract infection and stomach parasites. great. so im in treatment for that now, and feeling better. just please keep us in your prayers for all of these things!!

also, we want to thank all of your for your emails, calls, prayers, and gifts from here and from over there in the states...everyone has been so kind and generous with gifts ranging from loaning us an air conditioner for our room (praise the Lord!) to a live hen to celebrate Suzy's birth. =)
