Beth's Arrival

Well - our precious girl has finally arrived. We induced at 6 AM on July 12th. She was born at 2:43 PM that afternoon. I was blessed to only have to push about 30 minutes and came a perfect 7 pound 7ounce 20 inch baby girl. Covered in black hair (not sure where that came from b/c John has strawberry blonde hair and i have blonde - but who knows - mom thinks it might all fall out and come back blonde - time will tell). One thing is for sure - she looks just like her daddy and she is loved very much. I am adjusting to motherhood more slowly than i thought - but i am confident it will get better. Napping is an art i am trying to learn...as is breastfeeding. I can't wait to get a routine figured out so i can start taking her out and showing her off.

Her and Daddy for the first time: Our little girl - wide eyed and alert - hence my need for many naps:

Oma and Opa Sonnenberg....along with our two dogs...Holly & Patches...they have done better than expected...Patches goes wherever she goes...so he is one worn out little guy...Holly just wants to lick her all over.

Nanna Kellermeier - holding her little granddaughter for the first time...how spoiled she will be:

Well - that is it for now...i have to get in a nap before my little toot wakes back up. I will try to post again after our first outing...whenever that will be - hopefully soon.
