eve's one month update

Eve is six weeks old as of yesterday, so I suppose it's high time to give you her 1 month update.

She went to the pediatrician on 11/24, at which point she weighed 10 pounds even, measured 21 inches long, and had a head circumference of 14.5 inches.

She remains damn cute:

election day

we took eve out to vote this morning:

meeting the grandparents

Seth's parents came to visit this past weekend. They were very excited to meet baby Eve.



They brought presents for everyone--we were especially impressed with the beautiful quilt Mary Gorrie made for Eve. It's so pretty and so soft. Eve's going to love it for years to come.

We also got a chuckle out of this:

There isn't much else to report, as of now. Eve has been nursing nonstop, and didn't let me sleep *at all* on Saturday night. Also, I cracked a tooth this weekend, so I've been sore and grumpy in addition to sleep deprived. Seth's car was totaled (see the 1st post) so I'm going to be stuck at home without a car when he goes back to work on Thursday, until we replace his old car.

Baby's still cute, though.

Eve's first week of photos

Before we set Eve up with her own flickr photostream Amelia was using her flickr account for all our baby pics. We'll move those pictures over soon but in the mean time you can view them at http://www.flickr.com/photos/amelialouise/tags/babydz/

Eve's first Halloween

We dressed Eve up in her Halloween best, a Pumpkin suit we got at a town-wide yard sale back in September and headed to our favorite diner for some special Friday Clam Chowder, one of Amelia's pregnant food cravings. She wasn't quite the quiet sleepy little angel that she was the first time we visited with her though, instead she insisted on nursing the whole time we were there.

Later in the evening we decided to drive out to visit some friends for a small party and introduce Eve. The pumpkin suit got rave reviews earlier in the day so we left it on for maximum cuteness. Eve slept the whole time we were at the party. Nearly 4 hours! As soon as we left though she was crying for food. We holed up in a Dunkin Donuts for about an hour for a much needed diaper change and nursing session.

an eventful week

Wednesday 10/22/2008: a slight parking mishap.


Thursday 10/23/2008: 19 hours of labor. natural childbirth, while amazing, is not for the faint of heart.


Saturday 10/25/2008: Exhaustion.


Welcome to our family's blog. We can't promise nearly as much action as this past week had to offer, but I'm pretty sure we can keep things fairly interesting.
