A walk down memory lane

Anyone who knows me knows that I am a complete sap when it comes to my doodlebug. I was feeling a little nostalgic tonight and was going through a few pics from my myspace page. She is just so stinkin' cute. I can't help myself!!! Here is the precious pumpkin sleeping on my legs while we were still in the hospital. Yep just a day old and already a bowhead!
The first time I got to hold her. It's amazing how you can love someone so much and be so completely terrified of them at the same time. See my face??? I have babysat so much over the years and worked with kids for most of my nursing career I thought "hey, I've got this covered". (at least until the day that I had her!) What was really going on in my head was "Oh my God, what do I do with her??? Do they really trust me enough to take her home???? Shouldn't you have to have a license to breed???" :)
Snoozing away on Mommy's legs. We were STILL in the hospital.


Catching some rays. She had jaundice for about a month. She looks so huge here. Scroll down a little and look at the picture of her holding my finger to get an idea of just how tiny she was. Hard to believe that the baby lying in this picture wore preemie clothes for the first month of her life!!!

Yep, my little furball. Check out that forehead!!!

Ahh....the 8 day old portrait session.

She looks like she has a few chins here but it's just that newborn sharpei-like skin!

In a bed of daisies.


Teensy tiny tootsies.

See what I mean about how tiny? Her whole hand was just a smidgen longer than one joint of my finger.


Looks like a little doll!!!!
