Happy Birthday Daddy!

Today is Jeremy's birthday, and for the first time we're celebrating it as a new family. We are also celebrating 1-week-old Bailey, and oh what a week has it been!
Bailey was born on November 2 at 7:16pm. Her birth weight was 9 pounds, and she was 22 inches long. She came exactly a week after my original due date - the day Jeremy predicted. I was induced on November 1st around 11am, and it took over 30 hours for Bailey to finally come into this world. During labor and delivery Jeremy was the greatest support person - he kept me occupied and not letting me go insane (since I couldn't get up after I got my epidural), and later "helping" the doctor to deliver Bailey.
We've been home for five days (hard to believe it's already been that long) adjusting to our new lives. Bailey eats usually every 2-3 hours during the day, and for the last two nights every 4-4.5 hours - for which I'm very grateful. She already had the first doctor's appointment. The doc said she's doing well, already almost back at her birth weight.

This is our favorite facial expression - she smiles day and night.
