On Thursday, May 14th at 7:43am, Julianne Claire was born. She weighed 7 lbs, 8 oz. and measured 19 1/2". She is beautiful (yes, we are biased) and we are so glad to have her in our family! We are so thankful for her safe arrival after what could have been a serious complication during the delivery. Let's just say, I am so thankful for my doctor.
Big sister Maggie and big brother Zachary love to love on her...which has been difficult for the past week, since both have been sick with a random virus that has caused fever, runny noses, coughs, etc. We are trying our best to keep the older two a safe distance from her. Knock on wood, we've managed to keep mom, dad, and baby well so far.
Julianne has her two week check up tomorrow. We are praying that she will have finally started to gain weight! It took her a while to figure out the whole eating thing...or, for her to stay awake during the whole eating thing... or, for her to wake up to even try to start the whole eating thing... Of our three children, she's definitely the best sleeper at this age!! We've have many nights of only waking up once to eat. Neither mom or dad have complained about that. :)
Here are some pictures from the past couple of weeks. We can't wait for everyone to meet her!
