Steve says as soon as her head was pulled free, Heather opened her eyes, fixed on the one male doctor in the room, and stuck her bottom lip out in the cutest pout they'd ever seen. All I know is that all the nurses said "Awww!" all at once and the doctor just laughed. From what I can see here, she was glaring at more than one doctor after awhile.

I'd forgotten just how tiny newborn babies are. I remember being so afraid I was going to crush her, but still wanting to hug her as tight as I could. They wouldn't let me hold her very long because I was struggling to stay awake, but that's okay.... Steve was hovering close by just itching for his turn to hold her. Little did I know that once he got her, I'd have to beg for my chance to hold her again. LoL!

Heather has the tendency to turn feeding time into a game of Wake Me If You Can! Most parents worry that their baby will wake up screaming if a butterfly lands on the window too loudly. I think we can say with confidence that our child will happily snore through a live performance of the 1812 Overture, complete with cannons. So far, the only thing we've found that reliably wakes her up every time is the rhythmic sound of us sleeping.

The debate is still ongoing about who she looks like, although I think we've agreed that she's probably going to have strawberry blonde hair and almost certainly will have blue eyes. I'm pretty sure she's got Steve's nose and my fingers and toes. Other than that, the only thing we're both sure of is that right now, she's too darned cute to be taking after either of us.
