That's right, Leighton Elise is finally here! At 10 days late she came out surprisingly small...well...average actually. I have to admit I was anticipating a LARGE baby but at 7 lbs 2 oz and 20 1/2 inches long she is just perfect! See for yourself!
Just one day old and already so alert!
Buddy wasn't so sure who was resting cheek to cheek with him so he gave her a few nudges.
What a sleepy girl!
We are so excited to welcome the first of the new babies to the family and can't wait for the arrival of baby "Sally" here in the next several days! (And to find out her real name! It's gonna be weird not calling her "Sally" anymore!)
In the meantime, we have been in full nesting mode around our house. Between cleaning/organizing, cooking to stock the now full to capacity freezer, and stocking up on general supplies to minimize the need for trips to the store once Buddy is here, we are go go go these days. (and I do mean we...it has been a REAL team effort between Tom and I to get ready!) We've visited/met two pediatricians with one more to go, completed all of our childbirth and breastfeeding classes and baptism class. Check, check, check...I'm slowly running out of things on the list to check off, which is a very strange feeling for me. I look around the house for things that still need to be done and while there is always something small to do, I'm thankful to say the big things seem to have all been accomplished. Hope I didn't just jinx it...
Not much else new...38 week dr appt tomorrow. It's strange going to the doctor every week now. I keep having that "wait, didn't we just do this?" feeling on Wednesday nights. Hoping to only have one or two more of these after tomorrow but I guess that's up to Buddy, well, and Dr. Ahlering.
That's all from me for now. Hope everyone is having a terrific week!
