Charlotte Emma is here!!

Well, we did it! Charlotte Emma was born at 12:21pm on July 12th, 2007. She weighed 6lbs 8.3 oz and was 20 inches long. I do have a new appreciation for the epidural....I wanted to go as long as I could without it but once I got it I was like," why did I wait so long???" Our first day home was Saturday and we had lots of family to help. Her aunt Melanie and Uncle Kevin came up from Ilion to visit this past weekend as well and her Aunt Judy is coming from Kansas in August and so her Uncle Charles is also coming in august from Amsterdam, Holland. Toby and I are definitely exhausted and take naps quite frequently. Toby is having one right now. :) Pretty much when the baby sleeps we try to sleep as well. Charlotte had her first Pediatrician visit today just to check up on her. She's doing very well and has actually gained weight already! She's 6lbs 10oz. as of today. Next appointment is in two weeks. I can hardly believe how perfect she is. Toby and I are so totally in love! Toby is avidly working on her website, www.charlottedawes.com and hopefully will have that up and running within the next week or so. He pretty much tries to work on it between naps and caring for his little girl. We just love her so much!!
