Almost 7 weeks ago...

We welcomed a new addition to our family.  She was born at 2:46 pm (if you want to be exact) after spending only 7 hours at the hospital. The first hour was checking in and waiting for the Dr to start the induction process.  Six hours of 'labor' isn't so bad I suppose, especially when you have wonderful modern medicine :o)  At any rate, Danae Ryanne weighed 6 lb 11 oz and was 19 in long with lots of thick dark hair.  When the Dr laid her on my stomach the first thing she said was "oh she just peed on you"....  What a sweet girl. Little did I know that was just a pre-cursor of things to come.  Need I say more?

Noelle has been such a loving big sister.  Her first meeting with Danae at the hospital was uneventful and she hardly gave her a second look. She has, however, decided that her little sister is pretty neat and often gets excited when she sees her & tries to give her hugs and kisses.  And much to our dismay she often likes to push her in the swing and as a result managed to dump Danae out on her head.  Fortunate for Noelle she did not land on her head as well & I luckily recovered from my heart attack.

The last couple of weeks Danae has really begun to fill out. I think she might be a little chunk too. At her 2 week appt she weight 7 lb 6 oz and I think she is now weighing over 10 lbs easy. For the most part she's a pretty easy baby and we just think she's adorable.
