London Faith

London was born at 9:00 a.m on March 12th after a very short labor (my first contraction was at 2 a.m. and by 9 we had our baby girl!)- much different that my 22 hour labor with Liam. She was 9lbs, 7 oz.- the doctors kept checking both of our blood sugars because she was so big- they were convinced that I had to have gestational diabetes, but this was not the case- she was just fluffy :0) Actually, she was 22 inches long so she didn't look fluffy at all.

Liam was not allowed in the hospital to see her since it was flu season and there was the big H1N1 scare- so we left the very next day so we could let him meet his new baby sister. He didn't even care at first- I think he thought maybe we were babysitting and her mom would be here to get her anytime. Once he figured out she was staying, he would start running up to her in the middle of whatever he was doing and say "hi baby!" and go back to whatever it was. Now that she has been around for 3 and a half months, he likes to kiss her, and shake her bottles, and "help me" give her a bath. He's a great big brother for sure!

She is a good baby- now :) The first three weeks were rough, and we were sure that she had colic, because she cried ALL the time. If she did, then it went away really quickly, because one day she just quit. She started sleeping through the night at 4 weeks- yeah! and now sleeps 12 hours each night. She is very advanced (ha ha!) and rolled over at just 11 weeks old. I think that means she's going to be trouble!

These pics were taken by my cousin- London was 5 weeks old here, but since I waited so long to update the blog, they are some of my favorites!
