This is my Penny! She is a doll baby that I couldn't be more delighted with. She is eating well, (although we have nicknamed her Penny Piranha because she has quite a bite!), settles and soothes easily, poops like a champ, and sleeps like a newborn should, only waking for a feeding every 3 hours!
Life has been very crazy since her birth. She arrived a week early and it will be her two week birthday tomorrow. I can't believe it! I have been hiding at my Mom's house to get out of the noise and dust of construction and Marty is trying to keep things going in SLC. I want to write about her birth, but I need some time to sit down and put it down right. All I can say is, "I did it! I did it! I did it!" and I'm so proud of myself. I was worried and had been thinking about the birth of my second child since the birth of my first, 3 1/2 years ago. So to have Penelope here safe and sound and to be on the other side of a GIANT question mark is more of a blessing than you can know. I'm so grateful and feel it a sacred experience that fulfilled the prayer of my life; just the start of this baby girls birth story!
I love you all and appreciate the calls, texts, emails and visits. To know you have a village standing in waiting is humbling and the kindness is overwhelming. Thank you!
Enjoy a few photos of Penny from last weeks visit to the pond! Check back soon for the lively tale of me screaming my lungs out and the daily journey through the breastfeeding blues:)
Loves!
