Everything changes

Almost a week ago, exactly one day before she was scheduled to be induced, our baby girl decided to make her way into this world on her own terms. Other than her large size, the birth process went about as well as expected. My wife was a champion of champions, and we couldn't have asked for any better stream of help from the different hospital staff. In short, everything went better than expected and we're incredibly thankful and happy for that.

Matilda

I'd like to introduce everyone to Matilda. She weighed in at 9 pounds, 7 ounces, and 21.75 inches tall and has been keeping us busy for the past few days as we learn a lot from her and she teaches us a lot about ourselves.

It's been an amazing journey so far, and I'm excited about what the future holds for us and our little family.

Thanks again to everyone who has sent their best wishes and positive thoughts. It means a lot to me.

Note: As mentioned in previous posts, new content may be a bit slower in arriving, but this blog will definitely continue. If all goes as planned, I'll have a new Style Share in early-to-mid May and several future posts will likely feature father/daughter outfit coordination. :)

    Huzzah, ol' boy! A spring sproutling is always nice. My only parenting advice is NEVER take anyone's parenting advice!

    Thanks so much everyone! We're over the moon excited and just starting to settle into a fairly decent routine around here.

    Mike: I think it was you that had mentioned in a related post earlier that you had cut the cord at your sons birth. I did that as well! Surreal, but amazing. At times I felt like I was watching a movie starring myself.

    YWP: I think that's good advice that I will take! :)

    Toad: Definitely a keeper. I've been staring at her face for hours every day and it's amazing how many little changes I've noticed already.

    JTMY and David: Thanks again!
