Happy 1 Month B-day, little Elsa!!!

Our little girl is 1 month old today!  So crazy how it seems like just a couple weeks ago that I gave birth, but it also feels like she's been with us for more like 2 or 3 months, she's so part of our lives now.

Here are a few photos from Elsa's birthday - October 22, I love all these photos SOOOOOOOOO much!!!!!  I'll repost these as well as a bunch more when I post our birth story, but for now just a few from the couple hours after Elsa was born, oh such an absolutely amazing day!!!  :) :) (And yes I see that the larger photos overlap the column on the right but I don't care, the larger photos are better and I hope to change the template soon anyway!)

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE

She had some seriously long fingernails already!  And you can't tell from this photo, but her little hands and feet actually looked kind of scary the first few days - they looked kind of red and scaly almost.  Then they started to fill out and had peeling skin for a week as the old smaller and dry skin was coming off.  She has adorable and perfect little baby hands and feet now!
She had SUCH a conehead!  And the top of her poor little head was all bruised, too - all from coming out facing upwards instead of downwards, which made the labor much harder on both of us.  We don't actually have a really good photo of just how much of a conehead she had, so this one sort of shows it!  :)

I LOVE this, Jody first holding his little girl (a little over an hour after she was born), and it looks like she's looking right at Daddy!  :)

And here's one quick photo of Elsa from today, at 1 month old!!

This is definitely not the greatest photo of her but I had a limited time to take photos and then she wasn't having any more of it!
I have so many cute photos to post!!!  I should be able to get to them by the end of this week (and also posting a couple each day - I'll go through just a few at a time so I can post photos more frequently!)!
