Herilino's Locker

Grandma Jane and Grandpa Stan came to see Andie today. She is so excited to see them again, and we are so happy to have them here! Andie and Grandpa Stan Andie and Grandma Jane We decided to go for a walk and try out Andie's stroller for the first time. You can see how she felt about the stroller below... Enjoying the stroller We switched to the carrier   Henry and Nancy stopped by again to see Andie and bring Kristin and Jason a delicious dinner. We all relaxed after a big day.

Andie is two weeks old today! She celebrated with a nap and a walk (during which she also napped). Jason tries out the Moby wrap Andie also met two new faces today. Andie meets Patricia Andie meets Gary A photographer at the hospital took the images below of Andie on her second day of life. It's so fun to see how much she has changed over the past two weeks!

Andie decided to sport a onesie from Grandma Jane today. It's a little big yet, but she'll grow into it soon enough. Onesie from Grandma Jane She also rocked these superfly shades from Ben W.  Too cool We encountered some baby cows on our walk and thought Grandma Jane would appreciate a photo of them with Andie. Baby girl and baby cows

Andie formally met John and Judith for the first time yesterday. She had previously briefly met John in the parking lot of the climbing gym after her first checkup, but had stayed strapped into her carseat, so he hadn't gotten to hold her. Hawkeye thinks that all visitors come to see him, and he vied for John and Judith's attention by showing off his toy de-fluffing skills. Andie got to see Ben again, too.

Andie met lots of new faces over the past few days. She video chatted with Sean & Lauren, Margaret & Jim, and Mike, Melissa, & Lorelei. She also got visits from Sophie and Henry & Nancy. Meeting Sophie Meeting Henry & Nancy When we aren't snoozing, nursing, or changing diapers, we spend lots of time cuddling. Andie gives the best cuddles.

We were so fortunate to have had Kristin's parents stay with us over the past week. We got to come home from the hospital to a clean house, home cooked meals, puppy care, baby snuggles, and so much love. We are sad to see them go back to Iowa, but looking forward to a time soon when they can be out here more permanently! Nana gives Andie her first bath. Three generations of shared mitochondria Hopefully we will manage without them!

Kristin, Papa, and Hawkeye took Andie on her first walk today. Thanks to the Bakers for the Hawkeye beenie! Andie tells Jason about her walk.

Baby Andie Marie arrived on Thursday, March 12th at 12:01 AM weighing in at 7 lbs, 9.4 oz and having a length of 20 in. We feel so overwhelmed by the love and support that helped bring her into the world! Andie Marie Exhilarated mama Proud papa We were so fortunate to have the support of our doula, Connie.
