What a great day! Daddy is back from his business trip and we got to spend the whole day together as a family. It was sooo nice!!
After a hectic morning and a delicious breakfast topped with my first decaf latte in years thanks to Daddy and Starbucks, we were on time for your first pediatrician appointment this afternoon (since our stay in the hospital). What a relief it was that it went well, very well in fact. You are back to your starting weight... born 7 lb 12.4 oz... and in this corner... Aivleen Fitzgerald weighing in at 7 lb 12.4 oz! Whooo-hooo! Makes Mommy so happy knowing that you have been eating well, no matter how painful it sometimes is. Hopefully no more Dr appts until your 2 month visit at the beginning of June - which Daddy has to come to because you are getting shots and I just know I'm going to be a basket case... ARGH!
Then later in the afternoon, we took you for your first walk... with big sister Stella. She was so excited to be out with all of us, I think she's really starting to like you ;)
We went for a late lunch at Eric's Deli and got the opportunity to sit outside since it was such a beautiful Spring day. Then we ran some errands at the drug store and supermarket in our local shopping center. Unfortunately, Stella got most of the attention from passersby... I know that once you're out of your shielded stroller, you will be showered with compliments but no one can see you all tucked away, not to mention people seem to have a love for bulldogs... but you are much too pretty for people not to notice!
So, speaking of all things first, here is the first modeling picture of our family taken on the 6th day of your lil life...
This picture makes Mommy SO SO happy!!! I love you all SO much. I just look at you, my darling, and my heart melts. All I can think of is that Daddy and I made you with SO much love. It's like we took a piece of our hearts out, joined them together, added 2 arms and 2 legs and there you are! Sugar and spice and everything nice!
I'm so glad I did something, in this life... or a past one, to deserve you. Without a doubt, you have completed me and I will love you forever unconditionally.
To end the day, we received another beautiful present. Your very first personalized baby blanket. I can't even describe how beautiful it is. You can thank your cousins, Barbara and Gerry, when you meet them in June, just by being you... a happy, good lil baby.... my baby!
XOXO
Mommy
