Week 2 was a busy week. We started (barely!) to get the hang of having a newborn baby around the house. After spending much of Week 1 driving to the lab/doctor's office, we were very excited to spend some time relaxing around the house. We spent time trying to discover Hazel's rhythms and gently trying to guide them to match our own!
Hazel was eating up a storm so we started weighing her to see if she was back to birth weight yet. On October 2nd she weighed 7 pounds, 4 ounces. Still so tiny, but almost back to birth weight!

On Monday, October 3rd (day 9 of Hazel's life), Uncle Evan and Aunt Erika came to visit. They were on their way home from a looooong weekend of traveling, but couldn't wait any longer to meet little miss Hazel! In true newborn fashion, Hazel wanted to nurse the entire time they were here! Evan got a few minutes to hold her, but she cried the whole time. And Erika was sick, so she just got to peek at Hazel!

| Monday, October 3, 2011 - We finally get some warm weather and can hang out in the yard! And Uncle Evan and Aunt Erika come to visit! |
 |
| Monday, October 3, 2011 - Sadly, Hazel cried the ENTIRE time Uncle Evan tried to hold her. It's not his fault, she was hungry and he just doesn't have the goods. |
 |
| Monday, October 3, 2011 - And Aunt Erika was sick, so she didn't even get a chance to try her way with the screaming Hazel. |
Rob worked a bit on Monday, but stayed home with us on Tuesday. It was so wonderful! We made pancakes and gave Hazel a bath! And we discovered how wonderful it was to go for a family walk in the evening. We loaded Hazel into her pram and headed down the road (just a bit, mama is still getting her walking legs back!). Sadly, we forgot to take pictures of the walk!
 |
| Tuesday, October 4, 2011 - Hazel starts getting massage time after her bath! And we get time to admire her perfect arms, legs, tummy, and back! |
 |
| Tuesday, October 4, 2011 - Papa and Hazel make pancakes! |
 |
| Tuesday, October 4, 2011 - The Augustine family will always cook together! |
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday flew by in a haze of nursing, snuggling, and walks. No photos of Hazel in her cute little pram or the ergo carrier (maybe the best invention ever!). We promise to remedy that!

And our anniversary! On Friday, October 7th, Rob and I celebrated 5 years of marriage with a glass of sparkling wine and a lovely dinner on the porch at Karen and Mike's house.
And of course, Saturday was opening day of duck season. So Rob, Ken, and Josh spent the morning hunting while Hazel and I napped in the sunshine and researched fabulous mediterranean salads for the upcoming Family Smackdown.
 |
| Saturday, October 8, 2011 - Papa went duck hunting! Hazel's camo outfit has not yet arrived in the mail, but soon she will be able to dress just like papa! |
 |
| Saturday, October 8, 2011 - We missed papa while he was gone, but had a great time sleeping in the sunshine! |
