Thursday, April 17th at 2:44pm Ms. Leah Claire was born. It was a wonderful day! My delivery experience was just about perfect - and Leah IS perfect! A healthy and plump little girl :)
She was 8 lbs 11 oz. and 21 inches long. (We were all 
expecting a 7 lb baby, but she surprised us all - even the doctor!)
Ella and Devon saw her right after she was born. Ella was so excited, but didn't really want to touch her because she was still "dirty." Devon just wanted to sit in Mommy's lap. Since we've been home, Ella has been very involved - she helped Daddy give Leah her 1st bath at home. Ella is going to be a wonderful big sissy!
Leah has been eating about 2 oz at every feeding and going about 3-4 hrs between bottles during the day. She's also been sleeping 5 hours thru the nite. From about 1-6am. Way to go Leah!
Her dark hair and eyes and olive-toned skin are a drastic change from my other 2 babies. I admit, it took me awhile to embrace the differences.
We definitely wanted a brown eyed baby - I just didn't think it could really happen after 2 fair skinned, blue eyed newborns. 
Yea! David finally got his brown eyed girl! (her eyes are still very dark blue right now - but there are lines of brown starting to appear)
"Peek-a-boo Leah! "
