A little summer photo shoot.

It would be nice if she opened her eyes for one of these photos, but one can I say? She's a sleeper.

My little darling is now 11 days old and I haven't written about her yet! What the heebie-jeebies is wrong with me?! Well I HAVE been awfully busy looking into her beautiful blue eyes and stroking her very strawberry (sometimes red) blonde hair.

She was born July 28th at 8:28 am, 7 lbs. 8 oz., 20 inches long.

She sleeps like a champ! We didn't even need to buy our customary television series box set to get through midnight wakings. We feed her and she's down again. Her brother and sister love her and enjoy feeding and holding her.

I'm more tired and sore than with other two and am still taking minimal pain killers whereas before I didn't need any. But hey, I'm older and she is #3, at least that's what the doctor and nurses kept telling me the difference is. I'm not really complaining, it's a great excuse for not cleaning, doing laundry, or well...anything. I just sit in the rocker and hold her and usually Mena is on the other leg and we three girls just kick it, lazy style.

So here she is! All my worrying and tears for naught, really, thank heaven.
