Kara Elizabeth is here!

It has been a busy, tiring and baby-filled last couple of weeks......Kara Elizabeth was born on 11/10 at 5:43 pm and came into the world at 5 lb 9 oz and 18 inches long.
To catch everyone up, here are some pictures from the last couple of weeks:

The first three are the morning of Kara's birth. 

I woke up at 3 am with my water breaking and knew it was the day I was going to have a baby :)  We had plans to get pregnancy pictures taken just two days later, on Saturday, but that didn't get to happen so we snapped just a very few pictures right before we walked out to go to the hospital.

Fast-forward about 10 hours and we pick back up later that evening....

Right after she was born.....I loved this moment!

This is Kara getting her first bath

And here is Daddy shielding Kara's eyes from the really bright lights....I think Daddy is in love all over again!

Kara's serious face :)

Now the next few are after she came home.....

Sleeping beauty :)

I added some bright things for Miss Kara to check out while hangin' out in her bassinet.  She seems to really like the pink butterfly!



Here is Daddy and Kara.  He really likes just chillin' with Kara!

And here is Daddy with feeding duty.  I am actually breastfeeding but Miss Kara doesn't like to stay awake long enough to get all she needs to eat, so we are now bottle feeding while I pump.  Although I'm looking forward to getting to breastfeed again once she gets a little bigger and once she can stay awake long enough, this way Daddy and Grandma get to feed her also.

Well that is all for now.  I'll post more soon!
