Two weeks...

When I had Xander it took me 2 months to get my first blog up... that says alot about the differences in these two children already. Maybe the 2nd is just easier, or maybe she's just an easier baby, either way it's a blessing. I figure compared to a wild 3 year old boy, a baby that just eats and sleeps is a peice of cake! Although I've yet to be brave enough to take on both full time yet. With my c-section recovery and no one to stay home and help me I've been going it on my own with baby girl. Xander's still going to school and grandma's and is more than happy to continue his normal routine. I am looking forward to Christmas break, when I will have both my boys home with us for 12 straight days! Yay! But for now, back to the baby...

Two weeks ago today...

We welcomed our sweet baby girl into the world.

Isabelle Lorelai Pierre was born at 8:13am, she was 6lbs. 12.9oz and 21 inches...

Her first few moments... She cried and cried in the recovery room with daddy while they awaited the Dr's stitching me up. The second I came out of the operating room they put her back in my arms and she instantly stopped crying. It was amazing, she knew me already.

The nurses put cute little black and white bows on her to match her outfit...

Home again and all settled in. I've been taking pictures here and there in between sleeping and breastfeeding. She sleeps in 3-4 hour chunks which is a HUGE difference from her older brother who as a newborn was up eating every hour and 1/2!

She's got big blue eyes and the most beautiful blonde whispy eyelashes, both of which I'm unable to properly capture on my camera...

So most of the pictures I have of her are of her sleeping, but what is more peaceful than a sleeping baby? I love all the pink and her cute little outfits, although I haven't started to dress her up too much just yet. She's still so very tiny...
