Jeb Mortier, Laurie Mortier, Jordan Mortier, Aubrey Mortier & Amberly Mortier's personal website

Today, Amberly is one week old.  I can't believe it has been that long already.  I just had her.  It definitely was a busy week, that the days just flew by with the wedding and all.  Time already is flying by so fast with me just having her.  Anyway, everything's been well so far in regards with Amberly and myself.  I have been recovering pretty well and quickly.  There are days when I feel so well that I have to remember (or Jeb reminds me) to still keep it easy or else I might over-exert myself.  Amberly has been growing well and seems like she has gotten bigger already in a weeks' time.  She's still sleeping a lot right now and wakes up to nurse and then sleeps some more.  In between feedings, she does have a little alert moment where she looks around and we can "converse" with her.  I still have to schedule her one-week follow up appointment with her doctor.  I forgot all about it, with the busy week we've just had.  I'd like to know how her progress has been.

Amberly is such a joy to our growing family.  We love her so much.  She is a wonderful blessing from God.  It is wonderful having another little one in the family and Jeb is loving being a daddy again to another little girl. The kids love being by her too and "helping" out in any way they can (although sometimes, they can be so much in the way too).  Jordan and Aubrey have been a very good brother and sister to her.  They love giving her hugs and kisses and lets me know when she is crying.  Every morning when they wake up they head straight for our bedroom and look or ask for Amberly right away.  It is so sweet.  Sometimes, when Amberly cries or is a bit fussy, Jordan and Aubrey would sing a song to her and surprisingly she'd stop crying, as if she's listening to them singing and then when the song ends, she'd cry again. :)

Here is a picture of Amberly Dawn... one week old.  Also, I have uploaded pictures of Amberly's birth and her being days' old in our Photo Gallery, under Amberly Dawn.  I also have pictures uploaded from Sabrina and Matt's wedding.  I have a few videos as well that I will upload sometime tomorrow (or this week yet).  I'll keep you posted when it is up.
