HARPER!!
Okay, so I'm a lot behind, but.....
She's here! Harper Elizabeth Childress arrived on Friday, October 15, 2010 at 2:35pm weighing 7lbs 4ozs and 19.25 inches long. She looks exactly like her Daddy, but with Mommy's eyes. Thankfully it looks like she's going to rock her Dad's awesome eyelashes too (I've always been seriously jealous of those)!
Here's a picture from the weekend she was born:
The following couple of weeks have blown by! We've enjoyed each day of getting to know our sweet daughter. The transition has been pretty smooth. Harper is super snuggley and loves to be around Mom and Dad. She follows our voices and responds when she hears one of us nearby. It is just amazing to be able to calm her with our presence. She is a good sleeper and is starting to steadily gain weight now that we've worked through the whole eating thing. She has deep blue eyes that she looks intently at us with. At three weeks she shared her first smile and has been smiling more and more each day. Last week she started cooing on occasion. I love hearing her sweet voice and can't wait for that to increase.
We have had a bunch of visitors since Harper arrived. At birth she was greeted by all of her grandparents, Uncle Brad, Aunt Megan, Lillie, Aunt Laura, Uncle Mike and Sophie. We were so thankful to have our family with us despite the distance we live from each of them. Both Gram (my mom) and Grandma (John's mom) were able to stay a week each with us too! We are so thankful for the help they gave us with Harper, the home cooked meals, stocked freezer, clean house and clean clothes. Harper has also gotten to meet her "aunt's" Sabrina, Emily and Jessica. So, so grateful to these dear friends for making the trip!! I loved every minute with each of them!
Here are some pictures from the last month of our life:
