Minnie and Winnie


Right at first, Leisel seemed to change everyday.  (I guess that is my excuse for taking lots of photos.)  Here are a few:




Day 4 -- first bow (Jordan kept saying she could be a boy without it.)


Day 8 -- I know it is cheesy but I had to put the Minnie lovey in

It has been love at first sight.  Leisel is a wonderful, sweet baby.  She has been growing well and is healthy and strong....many blessings to be thankful for.
We spent the first week getting to know each other, mostly feeding and resting.  Leisel got to meet lots of family members who came to visit.  Then we have gradually added a few more things in each week: maintaining the house, getting the other kids out and about to the usual activities, preparing food again, squeezing in a shower and maybe doing my hair.... 
I have been working to keep my expectations each day to a minimum so that I can enjoy the moments and not stress about undone projects. 
This next picture shows the perfect peace in those treasured moments of sleep.  How can you ask for more?!
  
Day 10 -- I love this sweet outfit with the Winnie the Pooh applique
