Lauren. I mean a new baby (even if she is 3 months old) deserves her own post. Right?
Lauren Nichole was born on 3.12.2010 at 6:48 am. My water broke the previous night (my birthday!) and she was born about 9 hours later after about half of a push. She was 3 lbs 15 oz and 17.25 inches long. See.
Seriously. Look at how long that leg looks!
These are from that evening (about 5pm) when they brought her to our room. Much to our surprise. We were so expecting her to need the NICU that I didn't even bring her carseat to the hospital. Nope, my sweet baby was cleared by the NICU and left to my care!
so, Sunday afternoon (although we were all cleared to leave by 10 am!) we took this little peanut home. She weighed in at 3 lbs 14.4 oz. We were told that she was the smallest baby to leave the hospital that hadn't been in the NICU. It is hard to imagine a smaller baby not needing the NICU, so I am pretty sure she'll keep that record for a while.
Her first and definitely not last picture with her brother. Yes. Marcus looks like a giant...but he's still just an average sized 14 month old in this picture. Yes. She looks tiny. She was.
This is the sweet munchkin last week. She's pretty cute if you ask us. She's pretty cute if you ask anyone. She's right around 9 lbs and doing well.
Not the boy, but I couldn't resist. This is what is distracting me from posting more pics tonight.
Typical. Just typical. The blurriness might be out of sheer exhaustion.
Someone kinda likes bananas.
And of course, we have to include Aunt Ann.
So, I'm not so good at this blogging thing. But we have taken quite a few photos in the last few weeks. We're pretty certain that Marcus threw away our last camera and we finally replaced it. I'm secretly glad, for this one actually catches Lauren smiling.
This is THE UGLIEST picture I think we've ever taken. Enjoy.
Meeting and grinning for Grandma Great.
