Megan is sleeping pretty well so far. She did cry the whole first night that we were in the hospital. Now that had me scared, but the next night, she did fine. She had a really rough night again on Tuesday night where she would not sleep and fussed a lot. I am hoping that she does not keep that record up of fussing a lot 2 nights out of the week. But like I said, she is sleeping well. She does not fuss a lot (of course she has her times and has had couple of rough nights), but overall she seems pretty content.
She had some firsts this week as well. Of course her first night out of the womb and seeing her parents, grandparents, and aunt. She got to spend the night at Grandpa's and Grandma's for the first time (Tim went back to work on Saturday night, so I stayed at my parents house Sat.Tuesday just at nights so they could help out. I am so thankful for all they have done to help out. They have fed us, helped with Megan, cleaned my house, did my laundry, etc. Thanks so much Dad, Mom and Karen!) She also had her first night out Tuesday night. Dad and Mom took us out along with Karen to eat. It was so nice to be able to get out, and Megan slept the whole time in her car seat. She also went to church for the first time last night which was for AWANA. She slept the whole time there as well. (We took her to church on Sunday after the services so people could see her, but I stayed home with Megan during Sunday School and church.) And then today, Mom and I took her to Walmart for the first time. And you guessed it, she slept the whole time there as well in her stroller. (I have been told to enjoy this stage because soon the sleeping all the time will be over, and she will no longer be quite as easy to take out as far as keeping her quiet.) She also had her first dr. appointment today, and that went well as well. Yes, she did cry for this...she was not a huge fan of getting her clothes taken off to get weighed.
She is getting the hang of nursing as well. It was a rough first few days of nursing. I went to see the lactation consultant 2x's this week. The consultant was so helpful though in encouraging and helping me. We are making good progress in this area. She is back to her normal birth weight so I know she is getting enough to eat!
Tim and I are enjoying being parents! We love her so much already. We praise the Lord for her. Hope you enjoy the pictures.

what a cutie pie! such a cute pic of her curled up on Tim. I bet you're really enjoying not being preggers anymore!
Love the pictures. I agree the picutre of here curled up on Tim is so cute! Glad to hear everything is going well. I just wish we could actually meet her in person!
She is adorable!
We had so much fun seeing the Moses basket, the bouncy seat, and the purple I love Daddy outfit! Doesn't make me feel so sentimentally crazy about getting rid of all of our baby stuff.
I loved the family picture of Mom, Dad, and Karen. There is just so much personality in that picture -- I can almost see what each of them are thinking. I think I'm going to have to print that one out. And of course, the one of you three Armstrongs is cute too!
Karis, I saw your comment to Kristen, and there was a lot of "foolishness" going on in our picture, as your dad would say! At any rate, we are loving having Tim, Kristen and of course, precious Megan here. They are so patient to let us see them often and to cuddle with Megan. All the baby equipment and clothes you left with Kristen have been such a blessing, and they always bring back memories of Kayla and Krista!
Congratulations!!! I'm so happy for you guys. I hope you are able to adjust quickly during the first few weeks!
I really enjoyed seeing the pictures. Tim looks like he is enjoying being a dad. I am glad you are getting lots of help with everything. It looks like you are having a good time being near Mom, Dad, and Karen. Looking forward to seeing you in a couple of weeks. James
Kristen,
Really, really liked the latest blog. IT HAD PICTURES! Epidural: fine, fine. 19 and something inches: wonderful, wonderful. (Find me a wife who thinks her husband is or was concerned with these details and I'll send you the address of the Academy awards committee. Best male lead in a documentary is his.) But PICTURES - can't beat that!
Dad A
