Overwhelmed...

Sleepy girl....

Elizabeth turns 3 weeks old tomorrow! We are overwhelmed in many ways- with love, joy, exhaustion...but mostly love! As I type this Miss Elizabeth is napping and I am crying (thanks, postpartum hormones!) I just cannot believe how special this little person is- we are truly blessed to have her.

We've had some milestones in the past week- (1) her umbilical cord stump FINALLY fell off! (2) we started tummy time and our little lady can lift her head with great strength (3) I left the house with Elizabeth all by myself (I know, I know, this sounds like a small deal but really it meant a lot)

First Week

Here are a couple of pictures of our first week at home with Elizabeth. We are all settling in well!

Elizabeth Rae Wickham

Yesterday we welcomed with joy our precious Elizabeth. She is such a blessing- albeit a BIG blessing! 9 lbs, 3 oz. 20 inches. Born March 2, 2009 at 5:08 p.m.

Update!

We had a sonogram today that measured the baby at a whopping 10 lbs 3 oz. The margin of error is +/- 1 lb. Let's hope it ends up being - 1 lb! Anyway, my doctor feels having a c-section is the safest method of delivery at this point as there are too many risks with a baby this size. I am scheduled for 4:30 today!

We know that the baby has fat rolls and some hair on her head- we saw both on the sonogram today!

I will post some pictures as soon as I am able. Wish me luck!
