3 weeks old

Time is flying by! I can't believe Ruby is 3 weeks old already! She is starting to look more like herself and less like 'nondescript baby'. She is gaining weight slowly and seems to have gotten longer this past week. Luckily her feet haven't grown, those suckers are huge!
Ruby's Grandma and Grandpa leave for Florida this weekend and she won't see them again until around Christmas. It was good that they could be here for the first few weeks of her life, getting to know her and also helping us out with things around the house. Luckily we will be able to keep them up to date on everything Ruby using our webcam! Technology isn't too bad sometimes!
Being a mom is hard work, but i am really enjoying myself. Luckily i will get to be a stay at home mom for a while, quite possibly the best job in the world!

1 week old!

it is amazing how fast the time goes when you live your life in 2-3 hour increments. between feeding, changing and trying to sleep, this past week has been a whirlwind. but it is all worth it in the end, because now you know love like you have never known before.
Ruby is getting used to her home, her puppy and life in general. she is already proving to have an ear for good music, desire to dance the night away, a hatred for dirty nappies, and love for intelligent conversation. not too bad for someone so small.

Finally!

After 9 months of waiting, and several false starts, Ruby Skye Graisbery Blair finally decided to grace us with her appearance! She arrived at 10:10 am on Thursday the 2nd of August at Edinburgh's Simpson Memorial Maternity Hospital, weighing 7 lbs 8.5 oz, and measuring 21 inches.

Words cannot describe how we felt when we first laid our eyes on our little girl. She is perfect! We really lucked out!

Now at home and relaxing after 3 days of sleepless labour, the whole family is doing wonderfully.
