More Swimming

She loves bath time and she is starting to kick her feet a lot! she is also smiling a lot, sometimes at us or sometimes just into space but we think it is cute!

She likes to go swimming

She seems to really like to do this and if it makes her happy we do it!

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!

Just a Waiting Game!

Well, according to our doctor all we are waiting for is her to decide that she is ready to come. Mark tries to talk her out every night but so far she is not having any of it. I am still feeling good except that with this horrible heat my hands have gotten a little swollen.
The Baby Shower was on June 7th and then it took a whole week to recover...getting everything washed, put things away and getting the few things that we needed but didn't get. I think that we are at least organized and as ready as we can be.
Mark has been working really hard at the city but is really enjoying it. Some weeks it seems that he is never home at night and then there are weeks like this one that he is only gone for one night. It always nice to have him home in the evening. I substituted the first week of June but haven't gotten any other calls.
So all in all we are doing very well. We are just waiting!!!

More Ultrsound Pictures

We went to get a 3D ultrsound the other day. It was on the weekend of mothers day and we got a really good deal. It was fun, but we feel like we sort of cheated, we got to see her but we still c an't have her for another couple of weeks. but it feels much more real now.

Now Not Quite Presenting

Well Here she is, sort of. We got to do a 3D ultrasound the other day at our doctors appointment.
