3 weeks old

Well, time flies when your not sleeping! Tessa will be 3 weeks old on Friday. Mark and I can't believe it. Tessa is doing really well. She is eating about 4oz. every 3 to 4 hours and at night she will sleep between 3-5 hours. When she does wake up, she is starving! Tessa loves to sleep with her hands by her face or above her head. She enjoys taking a bath as long as mom is quick about it. Tessa thinks that she is a big girl; she won't sleep in the crib next to our bed. She is Miss Independent and sleeps in her room.

Tessa Lorraine Foote has arrived!

We are pleased to announce that our daughter has come into this world safe and sound! I went to the hospital on Wednesday night to be induced but made no progress until Friday morning when my labor finally started. At about 8pm, I was ready to start pushing but after two hours it was clear she was not going to fit. So we opted for a c-section and at 10:34pm on July 4th, Tessa Lorraine Foote made her arrival. She was and is beautiful! It was without a doubt one of the most nerve racking and sweetest moments of my life. I love being a mom and Mark is great dad!
