Blogging? really? couldn't they find a better word?

Well, here goes, Im blogging. I created this, and promptly did nothing with it, so if I am going to keep up with my family and share moments, I should get started. I was reminded after viewing my Sisters blog page for the hundreth time, and enjoying it as I always do. So here I am, blogging away.



We had our new arrival a month ago, sorry for the delay. Friday, July 23rd was supposed to be my due date, but Monday the 19th the contractions started, and by 3:30am Tuesday morning, we were on our way to the hospital! At 7:35am July 20th, we were holding a healthy, beautiful baby girl! 6 lbs, 5 oz. 21" long, brown hair and hazel green eyes and very alert! Please welcome Adeline Grace Porter.



We came home from the hospital the next day to a very excited big sister! Arwyn has lovingly accepted her role as big sister, she calls Adeline, "my baby!" Having two beautiful girls is twice the joy! Arwyn came straight in to my bedroom the following morning, and immeadiatly asked, "Momma, did she grow yet?"



Adeline has been growing steadily, she is strong, and was holding her head up from the first day. She is a good eater, and producer. By her two week follow up appointment she was up to 7 lbs, 10 oz. and 21" long. And because of her great job growing, the doctor said to try letting her sleeping through the night. I am proud to say she is sleeping atleast 4-6 hours each night (happy Momma, sleep is good)!



We are at just over a month, progressing beautifully, she is already learning to roll on her side! We have had lots of love from our wonderful family, we are truly blessed. Adeline has had many visitors, and spent lots of time meeting her relatives!We are heading for our next check up this coming week, more updates to come.
