10 days old

Annalisa Alvina is 10 days old today. Where does the time go? Each day is a blur into the next. We are all doing well, falling into new roles, figuring out new hair styles (can you believe all that hair) and sleeping when we can. Here is a brief recap of the last 10.



Here she is at hour 1 weighting in at 7.8 and 21" long.





So far she is a very good baby who rarely cries...perhaps that is because she is held most of the time. Here she is with Grandpa Reed.





We had a celebration in honor of her turning one week old. Complete with cake and costume.






Ruby is a bit depressed over her demotion from our baby to the dog.







This is pretty much life currently.




Thanks for all the calls, emails and well wishes. David and I look forward to introducing her to you.

38 Weeks

I've been really impatient lately wanting to know when she will come, when the last piece of furniture will come, just what is her name...
However, I woke up this morning and the fretting is gone. I hope this new found relaxed state is here to stay.

Here are some pictures of the nursery as it is today.




A sea of pink ready to wear.







A bed awaiting its baby.
