This One is For You

This post is dedicated to all those who ask for more photos.  So here we go:

 Midwife making sure I am healthy

 You can only see my foot, but my weight is good

 Hanging out with my favourite cousin

 My first car ride ever to visit a very special friend of daddy's

Thinking about taking a nap in my crib

The midwives come again today to do the final home visit.  So far Sydney seems to be gaining weight well (just from our observations holding her) and we have been doing well with a bit of a schedule.  Thanks for looking and will post again soon.

Day 3

Today is Sydney's third day with us. Its the day when she sleeps on your chest while you lie on the couch and you remember how much you love her while forgetting her screaming from the night before when she was unhappy with something you had little control over.

Today was also the day for her second home visit and we met with Tayrn who thought Sydney was doing really well. Apparently she is an over-achiever when it comes to pooping. Makes daddy so proud.
She was weighed again and hardly lost any weight, only about 85g (3oz). She has been eating really well.

Other than that i think we are managing to catch up on some much needed rest as we learn to live around Sydney's needs and schedule.

Sydney Anne Thiessen

We are proud to announce to all our family, friends and readers the birth of our first child, Sydney Anne Thiessen.

Weighing in at just 3.00kg and 48.25cm long (that is 6lbs 10oz and 19" for the metric challenged) she is the most beautiful thing we have ever seen.  She was born at 11:43pm on May 16th (11 days early) at home with 3 wonderful midwives from Niagara Midwifery Practice.

So far everyone is doing well and looking forward to a little bit of rest time.

Stay tuned for more updates, including good times to come for a visit.
