We have a Winner!

Samara has taken over! This amazing little girl is the joy of our house. It amazes me how such a beautiful person is produced by two people! We are so incredibly blessed, I can't even describe it! She had her first check-up today and gained an ounce over her birth weight, 7 ounces over her discharge weight and is now 19 1/8 inches. She slept a whopping 4 hours straight on Wed. and three hours last night! YEAH! I am trying desperately to get her on a good schedule, but that isn't working yet. Maybe by this weekend.
She has had some visitors, friends from my work stopped by the hospital and played with her when she was 12 hours old; Grandma and Grandpa Nonn came over on Wednesday to see the new addition, and our neighbors were overjoyed when they met her today! Next week my family comes in to hang out for the week while Trav travels to Houston =( I hope Daddy's girl can survive without him- it sure will be hard for Mommy to!
The pics are my friend Rachel holding her in the hospital, Grandma and Grandpa Nonn with her, Trav posing with her, her first bath (you can see how much she loves it!) and her first photo shoot with Mommy while Daddy was working out. She models very well!!

I'm still waiting for Adrienne to have a "schedule" :) I think it's a myth. Enjoy the 3-4 hour chunks for a while. It took Adrienne 3 months to sleep longer than that, and is just NOW starting to make it through the night (sometimes)I don't want to be a downer, but I just want to tell you not to get frustrated if it takes a while:) Have I mentioned she's adorable!
