A new fishslapper has joined the world...

Quote from BostonGirl : That's so he can return it to Costco if he changes his mind.

She's definitely a keeper! No doubts about that!

Quote from BostonGirl : Congrats ..what a cutie. Love her name too.

Thanks. And thanks to everyone else who said she's cute and who liked the name. Sorry I don't have the time or brainpower to write individual responses to all of you, but know that I appreciate it and thank you.

Quote from The Raddish : Dude. That little chick is pretty damn cute!

I'm sure every parent since the dawn of time has said this... but it is absolutely crazy how perfect she is, especially given her size. I was up in the NICU yesterday afternoon and I couldn't stop staring at her little tiny fingernails and little tiny toenails and how like perfectly formed they are, despite the fact that they are like the size of pinheads!

Quote from dalokgawd : She was born 3 lbs 11 oz. It's pretty scary how small she is, but all the docs and nurses keep telling me she's actually a good size for her age. She's breathing well and she's eating so despite her being so early, she's doing really well.

Well no wonder they are dressing her in zip-locks, she is so tiny that you need doll clothes, I'm sure nothing fits yet She will grow so fast though, someday soon it will be hard to remember how tiny she used to be.

She is so adorable, she does look just absolutely perfect and you are beaming. Love the pic. Have you tried looking for her eyebrows yet? Those brows and lashes are nearly invisible. I never realized how non boring it was just to stare at a tiny little face for hours at a time until I had my own baby. They make the most funny and interesting faces. Congratulations, soak it up, it doesn't last nearly long enough. My little is 3.5 and I don't know where the time went but he is growing up so fast it's crazy. I have to look back at the pictures to remember how small he once was. One of my favorites is a pic I took of his tiny little fingers wrapped around my thumb. Such perfect little fingers and oh so itty bitty.

She is precious! Congrats!

Awwwwwwwwww how sweet! Congratulations! She is adorable.

Like this one?

I took this one a few minutes later and it rapidly became one of my favorites...

Maybe you could hand your little spawn a sardine so she could smack another infant in the nursery with it.

Get her started early...

Quote from dalokgawd : Does this count as beaming? Technically, that's two words, but thanks!

Amelia the snuggle bunny! She looks perfect! So do you smell her when you are forced to leave her? You will smell that smell for the rest of your life. It's the smell of perfection!

Hasn't happened yet, but we probably only get to see her for maybe 30-90 minutes total on any given day. Maybe it will start happening after we get to bring her home...

Adorable! Love the pics, looks like she is holding on tight & snuggling and the other it looks like she is wondering where in the world she is.
When your able to take more pics you should do one with the wedding rings around her wrists or on her toes or something. When she is bigger you can show her just how tiny she once was and let her try on your ring.

I hope your able to be with her more soon. 30-90 minutes a day! I would kinda be freaking out, that is not very long at all.

Once you have a baby you realize why there is a flower named Babies Breath

That's a very cute idea. We will definitely do that. Thank you so much!

So I won't post any more pics in here (I don't want to be a PW... I could post pics all day if I didn't restrain myself, lol) but at any point if someone wants a new pic update just bump the thread and I'll post a new one for you guys.

You can post all the pics you want. No one has to look if they don't wish to. It's ok to be a PW in this case.

From one PW to another PW.
