We brought Gabrielle home on May 10th and now she is three weeks and three days old. In between she's met lots of family members and friends, gone for a stroller ride, had that scary first bath, and had two doctor's appointments. She's now up to 8 lb. 13 oz. and 22 inches long. We're trying to get her to sleep longer at night than during the day. . . She's very beautiful and lovable.
I'll write a post about our birth experience sometime soon, before my memory loses more details to the mists of time. Right now I'm going to go lay down on the bed while she sleeps. "Sleep while the baby sleeps" is a much-needed survival technique -- blogging while she sleeps doesn't sustain you in the middle of the night!
She was a week old on Friday -- I can't believe it.
