August 7, 2014: One Week Old (only posted a week late!)


So here's the post I wrote on August 7th when Alice was a week old.  Then life with a newborn happened and I'm just now posting this (she's now 2 weeks old).  Oh well, at least it's up now right?  I'll eventually get to writing other posts, it will just be a bit sporadic for a bit.  My goal is to have at least her birth story written and posted by the time she's a month old.  That gives me 2 weeks.  Surely I can accomplish that.  Right?

August 7, 2014

Since today Alice is one week old, I figured it was time to make her arrival official on the blog.  It's been all over facebook (sorry for the flood of pictures . . . kind of) but I hadn't said anything here yet (I don't have a lot of time to sit and write . . . I know you're all shocked and surprised).  I'll eventually write a post about her arrival and more about this first week, but for now I just wanted to acknowledge that she's here and beautiful.  We're totally smitten and still can't quite believe she's here and ours.

Alice Martha Browne was born August 1st, 2014 at 4:23pm.  She weighed 7 pounds 7ounces and was 20 inches long.  She has long feet like her Daddy and her Mommy's nose.  Here are some photos to tide you over until I'm able to write detailed posts.
