Aurelia Rose

She is beautiful, healthy and happy. Everyone adores her already. She arrived 6lbs 12oz and 21inches long at 7:39am July 14th, 2010. She reminds me so much of both girls and I can remember moments and pictures of them all the time- as she sets her head on my shoulder after feeding, and pulling her tiny hands in fists on her cheeks as she suckles her pacifier, cuddling with daddy. Ellie and Lia are just fascinated, and love holding her (my turn! my turn!). The cutest was just coming in the door, while she was still sitting in the car seat, and the offering of "guys" (stuffed animals) began... we'll have to keep a closer eye this time. Mommy's doing very well, and we're all settling in nicely. There have been lots of questions..."Why is she eating your boobie?" (Lia, when nursing) and explaining to do :) I actually think that, so far, it's been easier than when I brought Lia home. The girls are so good about playing together, and keeping busy, that I have more time to do what I need to with the baby. And, of course, it is the easy time now, when she's not doing much but eating and sleeping. And so the fun begins....
