Updates-
We are still alive at the Rohlf household. Lacking in sleep, but for the most part pretty good. Here are a few random bits of information:
1- Belle can successfully fill 4 diapers in less than an hr.
2- It is not a good idea to give your child a bath downstairs and think you can make a running leap upstairs to get a diaper on... yeah, 2 week olds have enough pee to make a "splatter" sound on the kitchen floor. :)
3- If you are a nursing mother- it is also not a good idea to eat spicy hot wings at a christmas party (they were awesome Josh!)- however, it makes for a rough night of screaming!
4- Just because clothes say (0-3 months) doesn't mean they will fit your newborn.
5- I have never done so much laundry in my life!
6- Nicknames come from anywhere... punkin, pudding head, sugar, honey bear, stinkerbelle... you name it!
7- I have learned how to do so many tasks around the house one handed.
8- Singing "Staying Alive" off key to a baby helps keep them awake during the day (thanks Lindsy!)
9- One of Belle's favorite activities: watching football on Jason's chest or chilling with uncle John.
10- It is amazing how poop goes up a kid's back. Praise the Lord for lots of diapers, wipes and extra outfits!
There you go! Just a few of the things I have learned in the last few weeks! Merry Christmas!

Lil' Belle
Here she is again.. but she is home now and doing quite well. We had a home nurse visit us today and she has already gained a half a pound and grown 1.25 inches! :) However, she is still struggling to fit into preemie clothes. We just keep her wrapped up in pink blankets all day long!
So far we found that she has daddy's hair, ears and feet. And mommy's eye shape, nose and chin. Other than that, the rest of her is a toss up at this point!
