8 days old

We are doing great! Emily's a sweet baby and Madeline just adores her. She covers her with blankets and brings her toys. So far she's not jealous, that won't change, right?
You'll see the progression of Emily's sad eye. We're not sure what caused it, but it started when she was 2 days old and looked red like a carpet burn. No probs with her actual eye, just the skin. Anyway, she"ll make a cute powder puff football player.

Here's a picture of proud Daddy.
Pitiful eye. Just starting to turn red.
John got a picture of us sleeping. So sweet.
Awake and showing of her beautiful eyes! (and war scars!)

Looking even worse - but check out that hair!

Going home. I couldn't get a good pic of her in the car seat because it was already loaded but she's in a preemie outfit and looked tiny!

Immediately after walking in the door. I looked pained - I'm not and had a better pic of me, but I liked this pic of Madeline better. Madeline LOVES her!

Madeline brought her a blanket and baby and carefully placed them on Emily. My cute kids!

Eye is healing and scabbed over but looks much better. She loves being swaddled up tight! (I think all newborns do.)

In her bassinet that Grammy bought for her. Still in preemie clothes. That's a snug fit pajama, not so snug yet.



Having her first bath at home. She slept through most of it and loved the warm water. John brought a warm towel to wrap her in - she thought that was great!

Same snug-fit pajama. Look how fat those cheeks are getting. She may grow faster and bigger than Madeline did.
