On Sunday, the 13th of December, we welcomed our sweet daughter Naomi into our family. She weighed 7 lbs. 9 oz. and measured 20 inches long. I took one look at her and felt my heart explode with love for this little angel.
She is such a joy and we love her tremendously. Lilly calls her My-omi (cute!) and she keeps saying how much she loves having a baby sister. Ava says she's so cute, she can't stop looking at her. And, of course, Naomi has daddy wrapped around her tiny little finger.
She has a wonderful temperament and hardly fusses, which is saying a lot considering how rough her first week was. We came home from the hospital and she didn't poop for an entire week. Newborns usually poop several times a day, so I knew something was not right, especially when she started having bad reflux. After several doctors visits, we landed in the NICU where they tested her for all sorts of scary things and gave her medication to bring on the poop. The next day they started talking about bringing a surgeon in for a consult. Half and hour later she pooped - for 25 minutes straight! They sent us home and so far it looks like she's going to be just fine. The NICU is a scary, scary place to be and we feel so blessed to be home together as a family.
