So sorry for the late announcement. We have been quite busy this past week.
Grace Elizabeth was born last Sunday, July 13th at 7:34am. She weighed in at a small 6 pounds 12 ounces and was 19.5 inches long. Not bad for a week and a half early.
Oh, I forgot to mention she also arrived after 27 hours of labor (that's right folks, count 'em...27 hours!!) and 4 hours and 15 minutes of pushing. Not that I'm counting :-) The whole time I was in labor I thought she must be HUGE since it was taking so long. Imagine our surprise when we saw her! She was so tiny!
Since last Sunday we have been getting more and more acquainted with our little bundle of joy. She is SO adorable and just such a precious little girl. She already has Aaron wrapped around her tiny little finger as you can see from the pictures below. The two of them are so cute together. It just warms my heart.
We are so sleep deprived but don't really care because we are really enjoying the time with our little Gracie. She is a great eater and actually not a bad sleeper. She usually eats about every 3 hours which means I'm usually getting sleep in about 1.5 hour incements. It is so strange to think that I was sleeping about 12 hours a day.
Our priorities are now Gracie, Sleep, Food, and everything else. The blog and other communication has really fallen from the priority list, but I do have some pictures to share. More to come!
My sister made this for us. Can you guess what our screen saver is now??

I looooove this baby!!!!!
And Goro could not be any more precious with her, you are so lucky to have such a great dad in him.
I can't wait to meet her in person and give her tons of love. I have been knitting like a mad woman the past few days and hopefully I will get the blanket finished and mailed off. And I picked up a few cutie things for her the other day after we got off the phone. I just couldn't help it. I love shopping for baby girls :)
Baby Gore is beautiful! Congratulations Jamie - and you look absolutely spectacular after so many hours of laboring!
Congratulations!!! I love these pics. You look great after a day and a half of labor. She is so precious. I can't wait to meet her.
