Pictures, Finally!

Sorry for the delay. I know everyone is anxious to see more pictures. It has been a busy week as you can imagine. Daisy continues to be up feeding lots at night, which is so good for her weight, but not so good for mom and dad (especially mom). Last night went a little better. Once her weight is up I think we will be able to feed on demand and not have to wake her up so often, and hopefully get our days and nights straight.

Nana has officially gone home for a long weekend (she will return on Tuesday unless she gets an SOS from us before then) and Chris and I are holding down the fort on our own. We will see how it goes. She has been a tremendous help keeping up with the house, keeping us fed, and watching Daisy during the day so mommy and daddy can take a nap. We would not have made it without her.

We still haven't heard back from the echo results and are expecting to hear today. We will let everyone know as soon as we know anything. Thanks always for your thoughts and prayers.

Last night, as I was feeding Daisy I was thinking over this past year and what a miracle it has been (you have alot of time at night to do this). First the miracle of growing a baby inside of you, and how after 27 years the body knows exactly what it is supposed to do. Then at the exact moment your body somehow starts you into labor (even medicine isn't quite sure how this happens exactly) and then a wonderful little human arrives with her daddy's toes and her mommy's lips and the miracle continues. (not to mention that the woman's body is then able to recover from such an event-MIRACLE!) I just see our Creator in this whole process and how wonderful He is. What a great journey it has been and how I can't wait to see what is around the next corner!

Wow--enough with the deep post onto the pictures!

These two pictures were taken right after her bath. I'm not sure you can see in the picture but she definitely has her daddy's hair color. If you ever look at chris' hair close up, it is a mix of red, brown and some blond. Daisy has the brown and red in her hair. Unfortunately her hair gets greasy really quickly and then it looks brown. Hopefully she will outgrow this and not have thin greasy hair like her mother.

This was an attempt to see Daisy's coordinating outfit the day we went for the echocardiogram....and it isn't even pink! She had a purple bow, purple blanket and purple/white jumper on.....she is so cute.Yesterday, we had our first shopping trip to target. I am not sure who it wore out more, me, Nana or Daisy. Here she is winking at the camera----already a ham!Last night our friends Danielle and Craig came over for a short visit. (we are so glad they are back in OKC). Danielle thinks she needs to practice before baby Smith arrives (march 4th ish) however, she will be a great mom. Craig however has the baby soothing technique down. He says it is the soft low tones of his voice. We now know who we are going to call when we need a reprieve!

Last night after our big adventure to Target and visit with our friends Daisy was lying on the bed with Nana contemplating the days events.
This is mommy and Daisy preparing for another eventful evening filled with lots of poops (6 I think last night) lots of feedings (4) a couple hours in the swing, a couple hours screaming with daddy (because she wanted to eat and we think she had a tummy ache) and of course a few minutes of sleep.
