6/6/05: Here are the last pictures from her very first month! We have a photo shoot of her modeling her first official church dress and sweater (what a beauty :)!) ... Daddy feeding Lauren her very first bottle ... and a little play time at the baby gym for Lauren and Mommy. Praise God for this amazing and life-changing month! It sure did go by quickly!
6/4/05: She is 4 weeks old! We are trying to get her to sleep without being swaddled, an endeavor that is proving challenging at times but not too bad overall. Notice that she is longer! She also enjoys helping Daddy to wake up when he has pressed the snooze button one-to-many times :)!
5/30/05: Among these pictures we have her first full bath, as well some play time in her gym. You will probably notice that she is getting her hair brushed - for the first time ever! She enjoyed it so much she fell asleep... The last picture was taken at church, where she is extremely surprised to have a fellow child touch her foot!
5/26/05: To throw a curve ball, the picture descriptions are now under each thumbnail. Enjoy!

5/21/05: Taking a bath. Sleeping. Story time. These were the highlights of her activities today - sleep being a top priority. In other news, Jamie has started to help Lauren bond with her teddies. And, in yet other news (and the last picture), her belly button (or is it umbilical cord?) fell off, so she can now wear onesies. Exciting times for the parents!!
5/18/05: A random picture, followed by pictures from our first walk in the neighborhood. She slept the whole time, and so missed the wonderful views her parents enjoyed. We're sure she will stay awake one of these times :)
Maia and Taia have come for a visit, so Lauren was very excited to have all her Grandparents together! However, when all that attention isn't enough, we can always resort to her green bouncer...
She received her first bath at home so of course, we had to document it. Afterwards, portraits were needed, as well as some "tummy time" exercise.
First row: Baby's first bath as well as more pictures from the hospital. Second row - we're finally home! Third row - take your best guess who she looks like (there is no really correct answer here :))
Praise the Lord! Our beautiful baby girl was born at around 8:54PM on 5/7/05, measured 20.5 inches and weighed 7 pounds 11 ounces.
Jamie started labor at around 4:30 AM, received an epidural at about 3:30PM and started pushing at around 6:30 PM. However, she had her tailbone in the way, so Lauren could not come out, no matter how much she wanted to - unless she broke mommy's tailbone. At that point, a C-section was done, and in one of the most intense, emotional moments of our lives we met our baby.
Praise the Lord, baby is doing great and Jamie is recovering well. Here are all the pictures we have so far, from the first moments of birth to this morning (the last picture with Jamie and Lauren).
