1 month in :)

Blakely Gray: You turned 1 month old on March 24th!
You weigh approximately 6 lbs 10 ounces, and are about 20.5 inches long.
You are in preemie diapers still, and mostly preemie clothes.
You are waking up about 2 times a night to eat now, and sometimes stay awake for a while afterward. But, you are good at switching from nursing to a bottle, so mommy and daddy do get some sleep every now and then.
I love it when you smile REALLY big right before you fall asleep. I try so hard to get it on camera, but haven't been able to yet.
You also LOVE to be held, and may be on your way to being spoiled, but we are loving every second of spoiling you!
Sometimes when you fall asleep you take her hands and fold your ears down, as if to block out all the outside noise :) It's so cute.
Big Brother Hudson is enamored with you. He wants to hold you, kiss you and talk to you all the time!

Blakely Gray is here

She's here! My water broke at 12:30 am, we got to the hospital around 1:15. I progressed extremely fast from a 4 to a 10 in 14 minutes. I pushed about 8-10 times and out she came at 3:14 a.m. At birth she was 5 lbs 15 ounces, 20 inches long, and a head full of curly brown hair! She is beautiful and we love her. Currently we are waiting for some re-test results on her newborn screening to come back. She may or may not have a rare metabolic disorder, and we are of course in deep prayer over her and are so appreciative of everyone's prayers and thoughts for us. Hudson LOVES LOVES LOVES his baby sister, and we are so amazed at how blessed we are to have such a sweet sweet family!
