Top 10 Things I've Learned in the Last 5 Days

1. I am madly in love with Julia
2. Sleep deprivation = Insane and irrational behavior and thoughts
3. Always trust Greg who is sane and rational at all times
4. It is okay to supplement with formula if you have an inadequate milk supply
5. There is no time to do anything anymore
6. Greg can cut an umbilical cord after all
7. Labor and delivery is way easier than caring for an infant
8. You may think staying at the hospital is great at first, but by the end you realize it's not
9. Just because the baby's bald does NOT mean she looks like Greg!
10. Emory Reproductive Center did a great job of helping us create the most perfect daughter!


Morning of




5 lbs 11 oz, 18 inches, 8 on the Apgar test


So happy!


Our nurse made this bow for her hat





Proud Grandparents!


Stretch!





Greg is the most amazing Dad



Can you believe she was just in my stomach 5 days ago?




There are only 3 outfits that fit her, and all the hairbows were too big as well!

I love all the pictures and one thing I keep noticing - she looks so warm in just little short-sleeves and I'm jealous of your warm spring weather!!! I love your lessons learned - you crack me up. Greg is a wonderful daddy and you are an amazing mommy!! I especially liked your comment of labor/delivery vs caring for a baby!

What a precious little girl. Tough to tell who she looks like from the pics. Her legs are so tiny. Did you have to use the premie diapers? Let me know when you're ready for the dinner I promised you.

Congrats form one mother of a miracle child to another! Way to go, she is perfect! She is going to be some musician if she can already hold down her middle finger while the rest are up and she is sleeping! :) BTW, good thing she WASN'T in your stomache--just your uterus--LOL! Congrats again! You both are going to be the greatest parents!

I'm so glad you're taking lots of pictures- they change so fast! I bet you're so glad you got the nice, new camera! Some of those were adorable with the pink polka dots & bows- I never thought I would see you put bows on your little girl- too cute!!! I'm glad you like having a girl!
