One Week
This week has flown by so quickly. We came home from the hospital on Thursday. Krista's mom, Katy, flew in that evening. It has been SO much fun having her here. Our world is totally different. I now know the exact schedule of the trains that come every three hours in the middle of the night. Whitney is an excellent sleeper and a sweet baby. She loves to smile all the time... especially when she is full of milk. I know I'm not the one making her smile, but I still like to think so. She seems to look a little bit different every time I see her. We spend most of our time trying to figure out just exactly who each of her tiny features comes from. I just don't want her to get too big-too fast. Newborns are so cuddly and soft! It is the most special feeling to have a sweet little baby in our home.
I'm trying my best to return phone calls-- it's hard, though. If you don't mind a phone call at 3 AM- I'd be more than willing to give you a ring!

Bart is such an attentive Dad. He loves Whitney so much.
He wishes he could stay home with her instead of going to class.

Katy (Krista's mom) with Whitney.It has been so nice having her here.
Sleep deprivation is starting to take it's toll.I think the black circles under my eyes will only get worse before they get better... they get better, right?
Sleeping. This is one of her favorite things to do.
This zucchini came from our garden. When we came home from the hospital on Thursday it had grown this big. We thought it only appropriate to take a picture of the thing we grew this summer.

She is so cute! I hope your having a good time with mom too. I love the pic with her and the veggie you grew this summer. Hope your feeling better.
I love the cucumber and Whitney pic! That is so cute! (also, we're pretty impressed with your gardening skills... that veggie is HUGE!)
She is so pretty! and SHE'S A GIRL! What a relief. :) I hope you are feeling alright. I love your "things" you grew this summer. She sure is perfect. I love all of that hair!
What a darling baby girl, and zucchini too! She is so pretty and tiny. It sounds like things are going well. Congrats- we love you.

Hilarious Christa!!! I love the picture!
Oh man, this is not fair.... I want to hold her so bad. I got her a few things the other day, then will be coming with Mom and Dad when they come to see you. So don't worry I didn't forget about my newest Paxton baby.

PS The picture that you can only see her face and her hand and she is on her side, defiantly shows that she is a Paxton. She is so CUTE!!!!
She is darling! When is your next trip to UT? I know, it won't be soon...but I can still hope. :) They get too big too soon - and there's not a darn thing you can do about it. (Look at me...talking like I'm some old pro.)
The dark circles get better . I felt like I'd been run over by a train for the first few weeks. That's what tired will do to you. Ten weeks from now, your baby could be sleeping from 8-5! :) It happened last night... Brian woke up when he cried and said, "He did it!" Miracle of miracles. I actually found myself not minding the quiet time in the middle of the night. For at least one feeding, I was awake and appreciative of my little miracle. For the other feedings, I just had to lay back and fell asleep myself. :) Good luck with everything new and exciting!
Wow, you're a mama! Congrats to the both of you. Everyday feels so long, but then you look back and it all happened so quickly.
Enjoy, she is a cutie!
She is just a beautiful baby girl! Definitely gets her good looks from her mama:) And Krista, you look AMAZING! Especially considering you are only one week post hospital and sleep deprived! I love Whitney's bows and all her pink things. She has such cute facial features. Can't wait to see more pics!
The comment above is from me:)
Krista,
I happened across your blog from a comment you once made on Mickell's. Congrats on your new arrival! She's darling, and they're so super nice when they're teeny! Hope things are going well!!
AHHHH I can't get over how cute she is. I just want to hold her. I love the pictures, keep them coming !!!!
She is so precious...love the zucchini pic...and yes, the bags go away, but it might take an extended period of time-sorry to be candid!:)
Congradulations Krista and Bart. We're so excited for you here at the Hurst household. Blogs are great. Whitney is beautiful. Much more beautiful than the zucchini you grew. E-mail me sometime. raeannhurst@hotmail.com
She is beautiful --- amazing how fast they change too! Today our little Cash is 2 weeks and I can't believe how fast time has flown.....now so tired, but what little bundles of joy these spirits are!!! Glad you are doing well and she is a good little baby! Can't wait to see more pics and updates! just reminiscing the other day with amanda over our freshman year in college, and as always a little sentimental wishing i was back as a freshman once again starting school tomorrow and doing the college thing - altho nice to be done too! but that was such a fun year!
