While Mommy’s Away…

Reese and I spent our first afternoon alone together today. She was a little angel. Here are a few pictures of our time together.

First Milestone

Yesterday Reese’s umbilical cord fell off (I guess it does that) and today she took her first bath.  She was such a good girl and loved kicking around in the water and getting her hair wet. Here she is taking a nap after her bath.

We love just watching her sleep…which she does a lot. :)

A Sunday Kind of Love

It seems the good things in our lives happen on Sundays and this past Sunday was no different.

Reese Elena Sanabria was born August 24, 2008 at 12:33 am weighing 7 lbs. 8 oz. and 19 1/2 inches long. I’ve been overwhelmed by the blessing of her health and Alexis’s quiet strength and beauty through all of this. Mommy and Reese are doing well. Mommy is recuperating from surgery and Reese is eating and sleeping like a true Sanabria. We are very fortunate.

Reese is growing everyday. We’re surprised already at how much she’s changed. She’s the most beautiful thing we’ve ever seen and can’t wait to share her with our family and friends. Here are a few pictures of the experience (a long and tiring day) and Reese’s first week in this world. Hopefully they hold you over until you can see the real thing. She’s amazing.

A good start.

After 18 hours of labor we headed to surgery and I was a bit concerned.

She made it out!
