Amber is a week and one day old today! She is just so precious and a great baby. She already has Ricky wrapped around her finger :) We are just so excited to be parents and it's just amazing that this little being is equal parts of us put together. It is literally a miracle. God is so amazing! My labor was better than I thought it would be. I was only in labor for 9 hours and it actually seemed to go by really quickly.
I am however having a bit of a time getting her fed. I am doing the breast feeding thing and we have had a rocky road. I won't go into details on here but its been frustrating and exhausting. Especially with a newborn, you have to feed them every 3 hours and you can't get much done during the day. I just feel like that's all I do is feed. Hopefully it will get better sooner rather than later. I am just so fortunate and glad that my parents are here to help out! I don't know what I would do without them. Ricky has been awesome as well!

Yay! I'm so excited for you! Y'all will be great parents.
I am praying for you that things will start to get easier with breastfeeding. I know it does seem like all you do is feed them when they are little. I must say I kind of miss those days when they let you hold and rock them. I count it a good day if Katie will let me give her a hug!
You are one awesome mommy!
Love you!

It will probably take a good few weeks for the feeding to get easier. I think the average time of establishment is about 6 weeks, not to sound technical or anything:) Just remember you aren't a bad mother or a bad person if the nursing doesn't work out. It is not for everyone:)
