Life just before Norah

Kenney's Ready
Kenney's monster bag is all packed and he's ready to go. He spent the night (and the next day) with some great friends -Thanks Haiters!!!!

Kendra at 6 pm - March 4th 2009
Kendra wanted a picture of her pregnent state before it would be lost....

Looking at Norah from the outside

Getting comfortable.....
Kendra before anything exciting started happening, there were no pictures of the exciting part....sorry....
Day 1 - March 4th, 2009

Mom's first glance at Norah
Taken just a couple minutes after delivery. Norah had very curly hair at the time.

Taking measurements

Basking under the heat lamp
Norah laid under the heat lamp thingy for a little while shortly after delivery. At one point the machine beeped and Dad declared that "she's done."

Looking around

Curly Q

BIG mouth
Norah didn't take long to let us know her vocal cords were working.

Nurse Ricki and Norah
Our nurse Ricki was a great help.

Holding Dad's hand
Will she be a daddy's girl?

Dad's first snuggle
After Kendra's first nursing session, Norah and Dad had a little snuggle.

Little Pea
Like most things, Mike seems to make Norah seems even smaller.

Just before hitting the hay
One last picture before Mom and Baby had a little rest.
Day 2

Stretching

Straight Hair
The curly hair of day 1 has been replaced by the straight unruley hair of day 2.

Mom and Norah

I'm ready for my close up

mmmm sleep

I like sleep

Where are my hands!!!
The little outfit they put on new borns in the hospital is a shirt that is used both as a shirt and as pants, one on top and one on the bottom - very effecient.

Could you lower the blinds?
I'm trying to sleep here!

Extreme closeup
Nice nose

Dad is jealous of all my hair

Crooked nose
Norah's nose took a beating on the way out. It is a little crooked and bruised today.

Wild Hair!!

Did I mention, I like to sleep

Okay, enough with the picture taking already
Day 2 continued - Kenney's first visit

Who are you?

Does this mean I have to share my room?

She has a nice hat!

Maybe I'll come in too?

We will now commence the singing of the snowman song

Once there was a snowman - Tall Tall Tall

In the sun he melted - small small small...

Okay, listen sis, first thing you need to learn Snowmen melt

She's little

Did someone say cake?

Mmmm.. treat

Say goodnight...
Day 3 - Let's go home

First ride in the car set

The buckle is nearly the size of my head!!

Can't I just stay here!!!

Kenney's bubble hair in honor of Norah's hair

Do you like it????

Sleeping at home....

We love the pictures! We loved the surprise phone call last night!
You guys do wonderful work. A little blondie! Mike was blond when he was born as well. I hope her hair doesn't take after his.
We are so excited for you guys and miss you even more now. We gotta figure out how to get out there as soon as possible!!!
