Pictures of our Beautiful Baby

So far so good. Micki is 6 days old today. Yesterday she went to the doctor and everything looked GREAT! She weighed 7 lbs 14 oz, so she's only lost a couple ounces . . . which is completely normal for those of you stressed out granparents that might not know that! She is eating well, and often, as can be seen by Jim and my bloodshot eyes! But each night she is sleeping a little more and we are hopeful by January she will let us sleep most of the night. Anyway, here are some pictures of her each day from her first week with us.

12/4 (Thursday)

Ready to leave the hospital and venture out into the COLD (literally) world

12/5 (Friday)

Looking around in the safety of Daddy's arms

12/6 (Saturday)

She is pretty happy when she is sleeping

12/7 (Sunday)

Though she loves her sleep, she is more awake and alert every day

She's finally here! And she is so beautiful! We waited so long to meet Micki, but it was worth the wait. We went into the hospital Tuesday at 8:00 am as Jim and Brooke . . . we came out Thursday evening as Dad and Mom, carrying our baby girl with us! She arrived at 2:14 pm on Wednesday, December 3, 2008. Weighing in at 8 pounds even and measuring 19 inches, she is also very healthy. So far we are exhausted and happy and excited for all our new adventures together!
