Lizzie is here!!!

Wow!  Where do I start.  Lizzie is taking a nap and I feel a need to write this before I forget all the details.  I may just do a series of pictures.  She is now a week and two days old!!  What a blur it's been.  First time on my computer since then because our sweet one is napping.  What Paul and I like about her is that she is a very reasonable little baby.  She cries when she is hungry or needs to burp or has a dirty diaper and that's about it.  And she's slept for 5 hours two nights in a row!!  Yow!! : )

My mom left today but she was truly so helpful and wonderful to help.  She made me many healthy meals which Lizzie in turn ate since I am nursing.  At first, nursing was hard for me but now it's working and we're both figuring it out.


Paul and I love our little Elisabeth so very much.  We worry about her whenever we think anything might go wrong and just kiss her squishy cheeks all day long.

Of course I didn't get to finish this post in one sitting but that's ok.  It's a few days later now that I'm writing this but I just spent an hour holding our sweet baby in my arms and that's an hour well spent.  Everyone says she'll only be a newborn for so long and I totally believe it!  She's already past her two week mark.  I think I'll do another post with the labor story.  But just so ya know, her weigh in yesterday was 10 pounds 3 oz and she was born at 9 pounds 1 ounce.  Go baby!  We love you soooo much!
