First of all... Um, I have the most adorable child on the planet. And I'm totally allowed to say that, right?
Lily Jeane - (for both of our grandmothers) Miller was born on September 16th at 2:22 AM and we are SO glad to have her here finally. Granted she was still two weeks early but when you go into pre-term labor six weeks early while you're visiting your inlaws in Seattle, the waiting game is a million times worse. It's been a pretty crazy month but now that our little girl is here everything feels just perfect. ... oh yeah and she's perfect, did I mention that? Perfectly adorable and tiny, she was 6 lbs. 2 oz. when she was born.
Alrighty, so pictures:
Isn't she a doll?
We decided we're pretty much crazy about her feet, I swear we took like a million pictures of them... not so sure why - they're just darn cute! And look at those toes, long eh?
She's already a Daddy's girl :)
So about a day after we took her home the doctor called us back for "light therapy" because her jaundice was bad enough to need it. They stripped her down(she was super angry about that) and put these little foam glasses on her to protect her eyes from the lights. Most hilarious thing ever, her first sun bathing. :) Although I was so not a fan of them poking and prodding my little munchkin or the fact that she was so unhappy :(
