Four weeks...

It's hard to believe our baby girl is four weeks old. Shoshana is getting big (7 lbs as of last Wednesday which equates to a gain of about 1 oz a day) and is very sweet. Spencer has taken well to the role of big brother and he loves holding his sister (for a few seconds until he finds something better like a truck or screwdriver) and giving her kisses. Shoshana has of course found her way into our lifestyle making it to her first wedding (congratulations Liz and Barber) and zipping around town. As for sleeping, there of course can always be more but at least she has her days and nights a little more straight.

We had a great week with my parents - I'll download pics of their trip later. Off to feed the munchkin again (and again and again and again!).

Baby Shoshana

Welcome to the world, Shoshana Ensley. Two weeks before my due date I left work to go to the gym and my water broke. Perfect timing...I picked Spencer up at daycare, we dropped him at our neighbors, dropped Barkley at our other neighbors and off to the hospital we went. They had to induce labor and by 3:35 pm the next day (Tuesday, Jan 26) we welcomed baby Shoshana into our lives (for those of you wanting stats, she weighed in at 6 lbs 2 oz and was 19-1/4"...not the almost 7.5 lbs they told us last Friday!).

She is so sweet and a very easy baby. Spencer has become a superstar big brother - he likes to give her kisses, burp her and help change her diapers (sometimes). Aside from the middle of the night feedings, everything has gone really smoothly with our new bundle of joy!

Not to be left out, here is a picture of Spencer with the cowboy hat we bought him at the stock show several days before his sister came. There are a few more very funny pictures in this series but I think they fall under the category of too pornographic for the internet (we'll save those for his wedding!).
