SunShineyBabyThis pic was taken when she was exactly 1 week old. We are living in a bit of a coma. I like to call it The Days of Milk and Poo. Our entire existance is based on milk and poo.....and sometimes sleep but not a lot of that. She really is a good baby. Doesn't fuss a lot and is happy to be swaddled and in your arms looking around at the world.
Her gramma Bev arrived yesterday and Tabitha has weaved her spell of magic and loud endearing farts around her grandma. If she wasnt so small and new I would swear that she was a truck driver/bar fly re-created. Wait a minute, who am I kidding?
I have met her parents and she IS those things re-created. She would make her Aunt Chris proud with the decible level that she can achieve with her burps and farts. WHO is the bozo who told us that baby poo doesn't smell? Cause, let me tell you, ITS A LIE
POO SMELLS! BABY OR NO
She loves her boobie! We have had a lot of issues around breastfeeding and it hasnt been easy. We have a basic anatomy incompatability issue. Her mouth is too small and my breast is just too big for her little mouth. Plus, the milk sinuses are WAY up there so she has to suck like mad to get any satisfaction. While I in the meantime are begging her to stop sucking so hard. I have had to pump for a few days and feed expressed breast milk just to give my poor sad nipples a break from her furious feeding.
Family portrait @ 1 week. We still look happy, tired but happy. The dog has decided that it is HER baby and sits and guards her all times. She, infortunately for Tabitha, thinks that sitting on her is the best way to protect her. We have to convince her otherwise.GOD, I look like crap!! I hope to change that and soon.

Great pictures you guys. I am sure that gramma Bev is just tickled to be near Tabitha. I just printed the pictures you published, she has changed a lot since already. What a babe!!
Have a good day, I love all of you and miss you terribly.
Love,
MOM:)
I'm still teary eyed from reading about your birth experience, and from remembering those first miracle moments.
Tabitha looks absolutely perfect. I know you guys must be exhausted, but that part does get better, or at least over time you will get more accustomed to operating on no sleep!
I'm going to be out in California the first weekend in June for Tam's graduation from Dynamy, and we would like to take a ride down and see y'all for a coupla hours if that would be OK.
By the way, tell Bev to call me...I was wondering if she wanted to stop in the Bflo on her way back east and do the Chico's thing.
Love to all (including Mouse),
Gina

You are MORE than welcome and I would love to see you, Tam and Alex (I am assuming he is coming too right?)
Thanks for your words. It was amazing and continues to be so. There will be more pictures tonight (or tomorrow) she is getting her first bath tonight
Dayum, that's one cute baby you've got!
