Introducing Elizabeth

She was born on Wednesday, November 6th, at 5pm exactly. She was 7 pounds, 3 ounces (3.25 kg) and 19.5 inches (50 cm) at birth. We were very happy to finally see her and have her in our family. In the four days since, we've learned to love her even more, and to realize that it is a lot of work. We're doing well. She sleeps well between feedings, so we do get some sleep at night. We look forward to the time when she does more than just sleep and eat, but it is a great start. We have our concerns and doubts that I think are common to most first-time parents, but wouldn't change it for anything. Everyone keeps asking for more pictures, so here you go.









Not only do we have a new baby, we also moved into the house.  I could make arguments that both got done at the same time since Kristina and Lizzy came home from the hospital to the new house.  But since the house isn't finished yet, it's a pretty weak argument.  In any case, Lizzy seems to like it here.  At least in our bed anyway.

Almost there

Yesterday, I finished the electrical work on our house.  We also had neighbors and friends come help us move our stuff up from the basement.  We've not moved in yet, but we are super close.
