She makes a face in this video that looks just like Popeye!

Delilah is getting fat!

I need to get some more pics on here... I just can't believe I seem to be so busy!

Delilah was 6 pounds and 8 ounces at her 2 week appointment. She is 3 weeks old already... it is flying by! I am trying so hard to hang onto every second. She is getting heavy now. She is noticeably bigger already and I am already missing her being so tiny. I hope that I can really cherish every second of her little life... even the times that she is crying for hours on end :)

There have been very hard days and very easy days. She is a good girl. We love her so much. We have had a hard time telling how much she is actually getting to eat with the breastfeeding. I am always feeling stressed that she isn't nursing long enough. So I am basically pumping all of her milk now and feeding her with a bottle. It takes a little more time, but I am not as stressed about her eating habits now. I do miss nursing her all the time though.

I hope to get some updated pictures on here tomorrow. I am just so overwhelmingly busy with here though. I feel so privileged to be able to spend so much time with her and know her so well. She is a totally different person than anyone else on Earth and I get to see her grow every day more than anyone else. No one will know a baby as well as their mom does. It is just so neat!

Update

So Baby Delilah is a week and a half old... and so cute! It has been much harder than I thought it would be to adjust to having a newborn :)

Some days are good and some days she cries all day until I start crying all day too. She and I are having a good day today so far. We have had some challenges the last day or two with the breastfeeding. We gave her a bottle on Sunday and I was so sad about it. I cried some more. I cry alot right now. Must be hormones. I cry when she is cute. I cry when she cries. I cry because I am tired and want someone else to take a feeding but then when we give her a bottle I cry because I would rather breastfeed her. Really? Poor Greg just sittin here watching me and her cry every night!

She is very worth everything we have gone through. I wouldn't trade her for the world. Greg is so wonderful with her (and with me). He is patient and loves holding her and changing her and giving her a bath. She hates her bath right now though. I hope she will like it in a month or so. Then Daddy can have a fun time giving her a bath.

I will try to get some current pictures posted in a day or two. I hope that one day I will get all the pictures we have taken printed out. There are hundreds all ready though, so I will have to be selective! She is already changing so fast... I hope she stays little for a while!

Pictures!

Baby's first hiccups outside the womb! To hear this you need to go all the way to the bottom of this page and turn down the sound on the music player. Then make sure your computer sound is up all the way so you can hear her hiccups!

She's here! I was in labor!

Delilah Rae Currence is here! We came home today :)

It has been a huge adjustment with the feedings and recovery from birth. I seem to have no time to do anything else right now! I want to get pictures up on here and some emailed. I will have to do it tomorrow though.

She was born on Thursday, October 1st, at 1:10 pm. She is 18.5 inches long and weighs 5 lbs. and 15 ounces. She is sooooooooooooooooooooo cute! She is a good baby so far and we love her so much! Daddy REALLY loves her. I think he would hold her 24 hours a day if he was able. She loves her daddy too!
