2 Months

I'm a little bit late getting this up, but better late than never!  Today our little girl is 10 weeks old!  I can't believe how fast the time has flown!  I am pretty sure we have been blessed with the best baby ever.  She is amazing and sleeps like a champ which we are pretty excited about :)  She is such a happy baby, loves giving us big smiles and cooing and singing along with us.  She continues to amaze us!

One Month

Zoe Phyllis

Zoe Phyllis was born on September 27, 2012 at 9:45 in the evening.  She weighed 7 lbs and 10 oz and was 19.5 in long.  Hopefully within the next few days I will be able to post a little more about her birth and the past week and a half with a newborn.

The first time I got to hold her, it went by way to quickly

After letting me hold her for a minute (they didn't even really want to do that but Andrew insisted) they whisked her away to the NICU to monitor her breathing.

After monitoring her for a few hours, they finally returned her to us!

Sweet little Zoe all bundled up (definitely more to come on this)

At home, 3 days old

I believe this is on day 6

40 Weeks

Well, our estimated due date has come and gone and we're still waiting.  It seems little Zoe is just content to be right where she is and she might possibly have a bit of a stubborn streak in her :)  So far, even though she has missed her due date, everything is looking good.  We've been going to the doctor about every three days lately, and we do a fetal non-stress test (I think it's called something like that).   Hopefully she'll be making her appearance any day now :)  In the meantime, we're still waiting.

38/39 Weeks

It's almost time!  Little Zoe could arrive anytime now!  We are excited about her arrival, but we are trying to hold out till Saturday when Zoe's Grandma will arrive.  I think overall, everything is still relatively smooth and easy.  I am getting quite uncomfortable, and I'm ready to get this extra weight off, but other than that, I'm feeling good.   I'm a little scared to jinx it, but I guess since I'm basically at my due date, I'm just about home free....I have yet to get any stretch marks!  Pretty impressive I think :)  I've been getting little bruises around the sides of my belly, but no stretch marks.  Hopefully my skin can hold out just a little bit longer.  My belly button is still very much an inny, although the skin around it pokes out and it looks funny.
