Some pictures of our rainbow baby!!

Delaney is seriously amazing!! Our whole family is just smitten with her.. including big sister Gwen, who tells everyone who comes over all about her little sister Delaney. She also runs into the room if Delaney is crying, usually telling us that she needs nummies! ;) So far, the girl takes after the rest of her family and looves to sleep - and so far, in her first two nights has woken around midnight and fussed until falling back into a full sleep around 3 or 4! Nursing is going well.. my milk is coming in a lot faster this time. I'm recovering nicely from the cesarean... even made some no bake cookies this morning! I needed something with lots of oats, to help boost the milk! MMM! Delaney is snugging up with her daddy right now, which he adores!! We're so happy that she's here, and that we're home!! Thank you everyone for your well wishes and for caring about our family. Here are a few pictures, since people have been asking!! There will be more soon.. for now we relax! :)






Shaun got to cut the cord after her bath (they left it SUPER long!)

Such lovely pictures of your family, Shannon and Shaun and Gwen and Delany! It is such a joy to be able to see your two girls together! There's nothing like sisters, right Heather!

Welcome to the world, baby Delaney! And what a lovely, lovely, lovely image the photo of Gwen loving her new baby is - she's so smitten. Congrats.

So beautiful! I'm very glad everything is going well, and Gwen kissing Delaney is just too sweet.

Enjoy the oatmeal cookies (yum!). Do you like Mother's Milk tea - it worked for me, although I know it doesn't for everyone and it tastes like licorice (which I like but my mom finds revolting).
