A Milestone!

I will remember August 11th as one of the happiest nights of my life. Edie slept through the entire night!!! Matthew and I are so proud of her:) We think that the new blanket we are using to swaddle her (a Kiddopotamus) is helping her to sleep more soundly. Any other time we swaddled her at night she would somehow wiggle out of her blanket several times throughout the night. Here is a picture I took of Edie the morning after her long night of sleep. I hope this pattern continues!!!

Splish Splash!

Here is a picture of Edie's first bath. She just loves bath time:) It is one of her favorite parts of the day.

Sneak Peak of Edie's Nursery

The nursery is not quite finished...I still have to pick out curtains and add a few finishing touches. But for now Edie just loves her nursery...and so do I:) Her daddy and Papa painted her room a beautiful lilac color (which turned out so great). Edie and I spend many hours in her rocking chair talking, singing, and reading books. It is such a peaceful room:)

Acid Reflux

Poor Edie has acid reflux! The good news is that this is a common occurrence and an easy fix according to our pediatrician. Edie now takes a liquid form of Zantac twice a day and she is feeling much better. She now weights 7 lbs. 1 oz. and is only waking up once or twice during the night for feedings. I can't believe she is over a month old...time is going by so fast!

Here is a picture of Edie's first trip to the doctor...her sweet Nana gave her that adorable dress:)

Our new home!

The past few months have been really crazy! On top of preparing for Edie's arrival, Matthew and I also purchased our first home:) We were literally moving into our new home on the same day Edie was born. Here is a picture of the front of the house. As soon as we get a few more boxes unpacked, I will post some pictures of the inside.

She's Here!!!

We are so happy to introduce everyone to our beautiful daughter, Edie Elizabeth Allen. Edie arrived on Monday, June 29th at 4:10 a.m. She weighed 6 lbs. 7.5 oz. and was 19 3/4 inches long. We are having so much fun getting to know her:)
