Fresh Baby Smell...

there is nothing like it!

Hazel is six days old today. She's such a sweet baby. She sleeps a LOT and only wakes up to eat then falls right back to sleep. So, this is how we see her most of the day. She had one rough night where she didn't want to sleep and seemed to be endlessly hungry. We're looking forward to the time when we are on a more regular schedule. :) But, until then, we are exhausted but happy. I so appreciate Jarom. He has been Mr. Mom while he gets to be home with us. He does dishes, cooks, cleans and entertains Cannon so I can recoup and take care of Hazel. He is the best! I'm feeling pretty good and have more energy each day. It's nice to sleep on my belly again. I forgot how nice that feels!

Here is one from the hospital that I love! This is Cannon meeting his little sister for the first time.

Awww, Ash - she's so lovely! There is nothing on earth that compares to those first few weeks in your new baby's life. Drink it all in!! What a doll Cannon is with her. I can't wait to see more pics. Congratulations.

She is such a sweetie! I LOVE those pictures you guys. I forget how awesome/hard those first few newborn days can be. I hope you're doing well.

Where did you get that sweet polka dot blanket? It's so great!

Emily, my mom made it and I have no idea where she got it. I'll ask her the next time I see her.

For a minute I thought you were going to be writing about diapers (I guess that's the smell I associate with fresh babies)

She's really sweet! I'm glad Jerom's home for a while to help you out.
