Family visits 3/09

Here are a few pics of Chloe meeting her new family for the first time. Some from hospital and some from first few days home.

Aunt Kates first visit.....middle of march....

Aunt Kate came out for a visit. We have had many visitors....she brough chloe a beautiful one of a kind blanket with her name on it. She had loads of wonderful advice for new mom and baby, nice to have her around most of all. She was lucky enough to catch the infamous "0" face that Chloe made all the time when she was a newborn...love it! She sadly eventually grew out of it.

First St. Patricks Day 3/17/09

Our good friends Meg and Alex came over for a visit. They were nice enough to make us corn beef and cabage. We have it every year and did not want to venture out with little chloe and needed our yearly fix. Here is Chloe hanging in her st pats day outfit. Underneath she has an I love Buffalo Irish onesie!!

She was a beautiful baby from the start! very good, didnt give me much trouble in the hospital. She was a hard worker with breastfeeding. Stubborn like her mother and father. Here we are heading home after an exhausting few days. Little did we know the real exhaustion was yet to come.

The Begining 3/2/09

I am being induced today. We will finally meet Chloe. I have been waiting very impatiently. Had to be at the hospital at 7am to get ready for her! Jon is not a morning person. We delivered at Millard Fillmore Suburban Hospital. It was less than 4hrs from water break to birth.....Chloe was ready. She tried to come early and we stopped her, this time she wasnt taking any chances. She was born at 2:21pm at 8#13oz and 19.5 inches long! Full head of black curly hair. I wasnt sure she was my baby!
