Thank you to our wonderful friends and family for the awesome messages of love and support! We have so enjoyed hearing from you! I plan to print out every message and save them for posterity. What a tremendous support network we have. Thank you!
We are doing so great. Our little darling entered the world like super woman, with her arm up! Since then she appears to approach everything with equal gusto — especially in the breastfeeding department.
Our 9lb 5oz “Strawberry” (trying this pseudonym on for size) is super cute and so chunky, with lots of fat rolls. She loves to sleep and mainly just wakes up to tell us she’s hungry (she’s pretty good at telling us she’s hungry when she’s asleep too!). She hardly ever cries — usually just during the second half of the diaper change for about 30 seconds (must be getting cold! or has simply had enough, Daddy!) before she’s been swaddled. She’s super strong, can lift her head, and likes to roll from her back to her side and occasionally over on to her tummy all by herself. She makes the cutest sounds (especially when she is sleeping) and smells so delicious. David and I spend hours just staring at her and feeling awestruck that we created this amazing little person. We can’t wait to watch her grow up and see her come into her own. She already has quite the personality and we are just thrilled.
Our home birth experience was awesome! Our midwives were fantastic, David was so incredibly supportive and the absolute perfect, loving, and attentive birth partner. Being at home was a dream. I couldn’t have asked for a more positive birth experience. We feel so blessed.
