London Paisley

After 9 months of waiting, we finally have our beautiful little girl at home with us. I have to say, I was a little nervous about changing our family dynamic, but London really completes our family. Daniel said "Its like our family is a kitchen table and she's our fourth leg." How sweet is that!? It is true though. A table could be built with three legs, but is much sturdier with four, and that's how its feels with her here.

She was born on October 3 at 6:45pm. She was 8lb, 8oz and 20in long. She has a very sweet nature. For those of you who were around Dylan as a new born, I would say she isn't QUITE as laid back as Dylan, seeing as he NEVER cried, but pretty close. She's definitely a night owl, which we are trying to fix. I thought she might be, because night time was when she most active while she was in the womb.

We just took her to her 5 day check up, and our pediatrician just raved about how well she is doing. She did loose a few ounces after she was born, but is almost right back up to her birth weight and she's already grown and inch!! So now she is 8 lb, 7 oz and 21 in. That puts her in the 75th percentile for weight and 90th percentile for height.

We plan on her being our last baby and I know how quickly time goes by from Dylan, so I'm trying to squeeze out every moment of this sweet newborn stage! It also makes me appreciate Dylan and his sweetness just a little bit more! He is an amazing big brother and is handling the transition so well. My heart and home feel full and I feel truly blessed!
