After a week of being home we are feeling settled.. sort of. 
That is aside from getting hardly any sleep and being thrown up on, and constantly doing laundry, pumping milk and nursing.

I am so focused on how much Eliza is eating  I have to remind myself to eat sometimes.

Eliza has gained 2oz per day since arriving home, and is over her birth weight already (8 lbs 11oz).  It's such a relief for us, as she lost nearly 11% of her weight in the first 2 days in hospital.

Sleeping angel.  There are few sights sweeter than a peacefully asleep baby.

October 19th and Onward

Eliza Lillian Rodger came into the world at 5:59 pm on October 19, 2012.  Mom, Dianne and dad, Andrew are blissfully happy and enjoying every moment.
She was born at the Civic hospital in Ottawa.
Enjoy these photos!  We will add more often.
