Little Miss Paisley

Hi everyone who reads this(which I don't know why you would since Wendy RARELY posts anything)! Anyway, this is Kelsey and I thought it was about time you all met my little girl so you could see why I am so in love!She is 2 months old today and I cannot believe how fast the time has gone.
Paisley was born January 23rd at 6:44 am. She weighed in at a whoppin 7 lbs 4 oz and was 19 3/4 inches long. She was and is perfect in every way.This is one of her first photos after gracing us with her presence and has remained my favorite. People ask why and I tell them "it was the moment I realized I don't have an ugly child"! See, I was a very unfortunate looking newborn due to being stuck in the birth canal andthe use of forceps among other things, so I was just expecting for that little girl to come out and be ugly! Instead I got this - the most gorgeous little girl I've ever seen!
4 days after my due date I did what they call "nesting". I woke up at 5:30 in the morning and didn't stop until 7:30 that evening when I finally sat down and said "I think I just had a contraction".They got progressively longer and more painful and I finally couldn't take it anymore so at 1 in the morning we went to the hospital and after my midwife mentioned possibility of using a vaccuum, my little Miss Paisley decided to get out of the comfy womb so mommy and daddy could meet her! Labor was something I feared for 9 months, but it was truely the best experience I've ever had!
months later, Corey and I are getting the hang of things. He is a WONDERFUL father. There actually aren't any words to describe how great he is with her. She adores him and smiles at him all the time! She is a great baby who only fusses when she's hungry, gassy, or tired. She is the cause of my sleep deprivation, but is slowly letting me get more sleep (knock on wood).Here is proof that we are doing great - and that we love and adore our little girl!
And here is a picture of her getting a bath just because she's so adorable! Oh and one more thing...pre-pregnancy weight does not equal pre-pregnancy figure. Boo.
