Hi faithful blog readers:). Yesterday's labor was far longer than we expected and after Daisy was born we had visitors stop by and the usual non-stop nurse checkups and when it was all over, it was past 1 AM for us and we were beyond wiped out. I am so sorry that I was unable to post pictures of Daisy yesterday. I know that I have waited on edge for other mamas to post their pictures but, I guess Joey and I completely over estimated our energy levels after starting labor at 6 AM. Here are a few pictures of our Daisy girl to hold you over and I promise I will post more when we get home.
Daisy is beyond perfect and beautiful in every way! I can't get over her tiny lips, eyes, nose, hands and feet. She has a mix of Joey and me in her and I just want to gobble her up!! OH my gosh I could go on and on about how much I love and adore our little girl but, I will do that in another post because yet again I am running out of time and I have to get going. Joey is currently curled up on the couch in our hospital room with Daisy snuggled up beside him and this is really his first time getting to hold and bond with her since she was born! I love watching him admire his daughter. Priceless!
I will post lots more updates and stories very soon. Just not feeling so great today. We LOVED all of your comments and they got us through a very long and exhausting day yesterday so thank you:)!! Daisy says hi and sends her "Love" xoxo
precious footsies and a mini mohawk! She is perfect and precious.... We see Joey in here especially in the open eyed picture. I'm sure we will see glimpses of Mama too next time we see more shots of Daisy. Thank you for being so generous with your blogging and including all of us in the www to walk with you through your labor- that was so special! Looking forward to the birth story someday- no pressure to get to it while you are in the hospital- just enjoy the rest and help of the nurses! Praying for breastfeeding to go smoothly and quick recovery for you Casey. WE LOVE DAISY!!!
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU SOOOOOOO MUCH FOR TAKING THE TIME TO POST THESE PICTURES!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!! She is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! Seriously, she's BEAUTIFUL and PERFECT!! I can't even begin to express my excitement and happiness over Daisy. I'm just still trying to wrap my head around that fact that you two now have a baby! :-) I am so happy for you two that it's bringing tears to my eyes. If there ever were two more deserving people of a beautiful little girl, it's the two of you. Again, Congratulations and thank you so much for posting these pictures! Daisy is just plain beautiful. I am really looking forward to talking with you and hearing about the whole labor and your thoughts about being a mama so far, but I can wait. Now that I have these pictures, I'm more than willing to wait. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's me again...I keep looking over these pictures and can't get over how beautiful Daisy is.
