Filling You In


A good friend e-mailed me this morning to let me know our blog hasn't been updated after last week's big event. We were at the hospital with our new daughter, Roya Allison Erskine, till the weekend and have been adjusting to this new life ever since! Roya was born a week ago (Tuesday, 19 February) at 7 pounds, 10 ounces, 20 inches long. According to all the books and nurses, that's literally the exact average size. (It's about time something normal happened in our family!) As you can see, she is a beautiful little angel, and we're enjoying the new adjustment. She is nursing well, and both mama and baby are recovering well from the big day. She's already wrapped me around her little finger, so her toddler years should be interesting for me. :) Fortunately, we don't have to think about that right now. For now, we can simply enjoy our new family member's infant years. Hmmmm............
