A new beginning

A new beginning ... to our family at least, no guarantees about my blogging life :) 

Our sweet Chloe Marie was born on August 7th at 1:21 pm!!  She weighed in at an itty-bitty [relatively speaking] 8lbs, 10ozs, and 20ins long.  She's been a great baby!  She eats well, although she much prefers a bottle over nursing, which means lots of pumping for Mommy.  But we're just happy she's gaining weight now!  She sleeps well too and is very rarely fussy. 

Ryan and Abby adore her.  Ryan loves to hold her and kiss her and help give her bottles.  Abby is always trying to pick her up and give her hugs, which is wonderful albeit stressful at times :)  They love having their picture taken with her and shoving her paci in her mouth at the first signs of a whimper.  I enjoy watching them all interact; we are so blessed with our family of five! 



 Abby can tell you that her name is "Chloe Marie Chase" yet she always refers to her as "Baby."

Betsy, the same midwife that delivered Ryan!
