Baby's first week at home

We brought Abigail home from the hospital last Saturday and I cannot believe how fast that week has gone. The first couple nights, my husband and I got very little sleep and would get out of bed to check on her with every noise she made. Now, we've got some kind of routine down.
Here's how it goes:
I feed Abigail and go to bed
Daddy(my husband) plays with her, changes her, etc. until she gets hungry
I feed her and my husband goes to bed
Abigail falls asleep then I go to sleep
Until around 4am, I take care of Abigail and then sleep when she sleeps.
Then she sleeps in our bed(I know, bad habit to start, but she sleeps so well).
When I get up, I try to get myself ready and whatever else I can get done, while Daddy takes care of Abigail. Then I feed her.

If it isn't obvious already, I breastfeed my baby. I love how convenient it is, but until I start pumping, my husband won't be able to help.
