Be still my heart

I can literally stare at this beautiful face day long. I love her so much. 

One Month

I can't believe that it's been one month since Lenore was born. The time has flown in a way that I've never experienced. My friends that have children warned me that this would happen. That she would change in a blink of an eye. That time would seem to pass faster, no matter what I did to hold on to it. I am trying to relish every single moment so that I can burn them into my memory. 

Two Weeks

Today marks two weeks that our sweet Lenore has graced us with her presence. I can't believe it's been two weeks already. I find myself constantly staring at her in awe and wondering how my husband and I created such a perfect creature. She is literally the most beautiful thing I have ever laid my eyes on.

She looks so much like Jason. She has his nose, his jet black hair, and his ears. She has my eye shape and my butt chin (her chin is much cuter than mine, however). She has lovely long fingers and toes. I'm pretty sure her eyes are going to be brown, but they're a dark slate color right now. I can't wait to see how they'll change in the next few months.

It's so funny, when I sat down to type this, I had so much more that I wanted to say. However, I've been distracted by watching my daughter sleep and listening to her little coos as she dreams about whatever babies dream about. So, I'll have to update again at a later time.

She's Here!

Lenore Louise made her debut on Tuesday, July 15 at 5:45pm. She weighed 8 lbs. and measured 19.5 inches.

Jason and I couldn't be happier. She is so beautiful.

I'll update with her birth story soon. 

The Nursery

I haven't gotten a chance to post photos of the nursery yet so, I figured I'd better do it now.

39 Weeks

We are 39 weeks pregnant today. I can't believe how the time has flown by. Our induction has been scheduled for Tuesday at 7:30am. That's 3 days away. THREE. I was already 4 cm dilated at my last check up so, I'm curious to know how much more I've progressed, if at all. My doctor thinks I'll have a pretty quick labor which is nice to think about even though there's really no way to tell. It's just hard to wrap my head around the fact that she's going to be here in 3 days or less..
