One Month Old!

Of course I had to do a one month old photo shoot with Chess! She is so sweet and so easy to take pictures of. Here are a few that I really like. I can't believe she is one month old already!

Week 4

I love this outfit.



Chess got all dressed up to go to Heather's bridal shower.



This is how Chess likes to fall asleep-bouncing on the bed with Daddy, with her head back, looking at the ceiling.





Jared has started reading Chess a story every night.



And last but not least...Chess has been smiling at me for about a week now, but this is the first one I caught with the camera! I'm so excited-she is so cute!

Happy Mother's Day to Me!

Week 3

2 Week Doctor's Appointment

Chess had her 2 week doctor's appointment today, and I'm glad to say she is a very healthy girl. She has surpassed her birth weight and is now 10 lbs 10 oz. She is 22 inches long, and her head circumference is 15 inches. Jared and I are very proud of our sweet and beautiful baby girl. She is changing so much every day!

Baby Chess

Our sweet little baby girl was born on April 19, 2008 at 9:47 am. She was 21.5 inches and weighed 10 lbs and 8 oz!!! I luckily had a very quick labor and delivery and was already 8 cm when we arrived at the hospital. Both Chess and I are doing great. Jared and I are loving being parents and are truly amazed at this beautiful baby we have been blessed with. We are so happy!
