Hello, Friends. After five of the most painful, wonderful, sleep-deprived, miraculous days of my life, I'm ready to take the reigns to our blog back from my husband and get posting again. I begin by overexposing you all to more pictures of our precious Charlotte Lily, now four days old. She is the cutest, sweetest, most wonderful thing that has ever happened to me and I'm able to think about little else lately, so please excuse my inability to restrain myself here.
On Tuesday night, they finally let us leave the hospital. Charlotte enjoyed her car seat and fell asleep on the way home.
Watching Daddy as he struggles to put together her swing, which she doesn't seem to like much so far anyway. (They call this a swaddle blanket, but it looks kind of like a straight jacket, doesn't it? Well, whatever it is, it quiets her right down.)
First doctor's appointment on Wednesday. Of course, she screamed like crazy when she was stripped down and weighed.
Charlotte's first bath on Wednesday night. Once again, she became indignant and screamed her head off when she was undressed.
Our sweet baby girl fighting her Nana's efforts to wake her up.
Enjoying a visit with Great-Granddaddy and Nana who drove up from Beaufort on Thursday to see her. After a nice afternoon with the baby, they both told me "You done real good, sweetheart." I thought they had done good too, since I left the baby with them and got to nap for almost 45 minutes.
Charlotte in her post-nursing drunken stage.
Visiting with Aunties Brit, Taunja, and Ruthie.

It is good you are feeling like blogging. And you're suppose to be like this. It is a wonderful feeling to have a new life in your arms. She is beautiful.
Oh my goodness! She is going to be all grown up by the time I get there on Sunday...
Congratulations! She is absolutely beautiful! She was obviously worth waiting for...and what a blessing to your family. I know Grammy is anxious to get that little one into her arms...I don't blame her...I'd be on the next plane out of here! Miss you and hopefully will get to see you and that little precious one soon.
She is so beautiful! Do I say that on all your picture posts? It is so exciting to see you going through all of the fun newborn things, I miss it already. Definitely sleep when you get the chance (which is sounds like you are) and things will just get more and more fun and wonderful!
Darling! I think she has your mouth. What a cutie!
Yes, I agree with Nana. You done real good, sweethear!
