So where do I start? Since Liza has been with us for almost 10 weeks now I have a little catching up to do. First thing is first, Liza was born Monday 11/15/10 at Valley Regional here in Claremont, NH. She weighed in at 6lbs 15ozs and 19 1/2 inches long. She was an absolutely beautiful baby who came into the world without making little more then a peep. Of course I was there for the birth while Molly's mother, father, grandparents, and friend Joey anxiously waited for the news. Fortunately both Molly and Liza did very well and both were given clean bills of health. The following day Grandma Sally came over with Uncle Thomas and Aunt Kathy to welcome Liza into the family. Throughout the rest of the week family and friends visited us in the hospital anxious to see Liza and see how Molly was doing. I have to admit it was the most exhausting week of my life but well worth it.
We were finally able to bring Liza home that Friday, it was a long week in a very uncomfortable pullout sofa. Although we had spent the entire week in the hospital with Liza, it truely did not sink in that we were officially parents until we placed her in the carseat and drove a cool 20 mph down the road avoiding every bump and pothole. Of course Miyah (our puggle) was the first to greet her, since she had sniffed me all over on my daily trips home to pick up clothes she knew someone or something was coming home. Liza adjusted nicely to her new home, eating, followed by a 3 hour nap, followed by more eating. Likewise we adjusted well to Liza's schedule waking up for her feedings and sleeping when she did.
