More photos!!!

Dear all,

Thank you so much for your support and prayers. Charis' arrival has been a great blessing and testimony of God's goodness, despite the pain and discomfort! :) We wanted to share a few more pictures with you. While you enjoy these, I will attempt to get a birthing story written, although I am not sure it will be as good as yours, Kelley! Again, ENJOY! ...


Woo hoo! I am finally going home!


Sleeping...

Snoozing away... Mommy and Daddy both hope this is a developing habit










Mommy is about to try the sleeping thing too... :)

I hate to burst your bubble but Greta did the whole sleeping thing for the first few days but it didn't last. She has slept for more than 4 hours straight since then and generally only goes for 2. :-)

Thanks for sharing more pictures. I can't wait to see how she changes over the coming weeks and months. Greta has already changed a ton in her first few weeks of life. It's amazing how quickly they grow.

precious Katie dear!! I'm so happy for you and you look great. I'll try to call in a day or so after you've had a little rest. :D Love you!

Congratulations to you both on the birth of Charis. A lovely looking baby you are both so lucky. Sean, it looks like fatherhood suits you already. We enjoyed the pics. Clem told us to night.
Best wishes B,K,D &J

She really does have a lot of hair especially on the sides and back. I have to agree that she does look an awful lot like Sean, although I don't really remember exactly what you looked like as a baby. I think it is the eyes that remind me of Sean (just like you said). Anyway, she is beautiful and hopefully will continue the sleeping thing for you!!!! BTW, Luke still sleeps 15 - 17 hours!!! You also look awesome!!!

Charis is adorable and I think I see Sean in her too...and maybe your nose?? (It is kind of amusing to hear what everyone says about who your baby does/does not look like, isn't it? For both Lydia and Lauren we have been given very different reports! And often others have a very decided opinion when even I can't really tell!!)You look great and I can't wait to read your story whenever you get around to it. Sleep now while she is sleeping ...like Kelley said, it won't last forever...but she may be a great sleeper right from the start!!

Awww! She's so adorable! Enjoy her while she is tiny! I always miss the tiny stage because it passes so quickly. I hope you're able to get some sleep!

Now it's your job to photograph her in every fancy onesie your friends sent. "...and in this one Charis starting gumming the detachable fur collar..."
