One Month and counting!!

Time passes quickly when you live in a vacuum!

Emilia turns a month old this week!

I have a couple of pictures to share with you that are from this week and today. She has started to smile and that has really made things entertaining. She is a joy--although still thinks midnight to 5 a.m. is "morning". That complicates things as far as getting decent sleep is concerned, but she is still a treasure!

ENJOY!

Emilia Andrea Gracia: Photos from first week

These are all cell phone images we captured during week one at home. Excuse mess and mismatched clothes and no makeup having faces! :)














I know it looks like all she does is sleep but its quite the opposite. She cries a *LOT* and eats even more. She is ALWAYS hungry it seems. This is a mixed blessing. I am dropping weight like no one's business, but breast feeding can be quite painful with an eater like this (who also refuses to latch well)!

So there is no such thing as a free lunch! I am paying dearly for this weight loss! (Pain, lack of sleep, rinse & repeat.) I can not think of another diet that is too much easier. No pain no gain, right?

More pics to come once I get my camera ones online and re-sized!

Have a great day!

Our New Baby is Home!

We went into the hospital last Monday night and only came home last night! A WHOLE WEEK we were there! :(

Our daughter, Emilia Andrea Gracia, was born at 9:17pm on March 30th. She was 8lbs 9ozs and is 20 inches long.

She is something else! Came out screaming and with her eyes open taking everything in! We got to spend a LOT of time with her immediately and she was very quiet and her eyes were looking us over and looking at anyone who handled her. So insane to watch an infant be that alert!

She was born via emergency C section and the section was not without complications. It took a long time and I ended up needing blood replenished afterward. It was a rough go for sure! Thankfully I had all the complications and aftershocks and she was flawless. Not even jaundiced! Healthy little angel!

Pictures will come shortly!!!
