For all you non-Facebook-ers out there, here are some pictures of our daughter, Lily! She was born on Friday, July 23 at 7:32 PM after being induced Thursday afternoon (full birth story still to come in another post). She was 6 lbs 1 oz and 18.5 inches long, with a full head of fine, dark hair. Right now her eyes are a dark bluish-green color (when they're open, which is not very often). We were released from the hospital Sunday morning, and have been adjusting to life at home since then. I'll be sure to add more pictures soon as we're settling into some semblance of a routine.
It's been a weird adjustment to start thinking about Lily "The Person", rather than this abstract concept "The Baby which may or may not have be named Lily". It's starting to sink in that she's really ours and we're actually responsible for her well-being. Duncan is having a stressful time getting used to having a crying creature that smells weird and wiggles in all of his favorite places. He has taken to making various nests in Joe's Man Cave because that's the only room she hasn't been in yet. I'm trying to remember to take a few minutes and pet him each day so he doesn't get too stressed out. He'll get over it eventually, he's always been very affable.
In this picture, Lily is one day old, wrapped up in the hospital blankets.
In this picture, Lily is three days old, and wrapped in the baby blanket I made for her. It is made in a diagonal, rainbow striped stocking stitch pattern, and she loves it.
Words can't even begin to explain how amazing Joe has been through everything. As a quick example, I have not changed a single diaper yet.
