Here She Comes, Miss Adelia Peacock



Introducing the newest Pea-Chick in town-- Adelia Rose Peacock. She made her grand entrance into the world on Saturday, June 13th, 2009 at 7:34 pm. She weighed 7.7 lbs and was 19 inches long.


The Whole Family-finally together after 9 long months and 9 long hours of labor

Both she and Mom are doing great!! We were able to bring her home on Sunday night and LOVE LOVE LOVE having her in our home!! Thank you everyone for your well wishes and for those that were able to come visit. We look forward to more visitors this weekend!

Her big sister is a major fan! The first person after Mom and Dad to hold her was Tianna. She took one look at her and said "She's too beautiful!" and gave her a kiss on the head. It was the most precious moment! Since then it's hard to keep her from loving on her constantly. She's adjusting beautifully to her role as Mommy's helper and Big Sister .

Adelia is such a great baby! The first night home she only at she only woke up once to eat and has done that the last two nights as well. Of course if I went to bed earlier it would be twice, but I still get about 6 hours a night! She never cries......... unless naked and cold or when I'm trying to feed her. That has been the only real challenge with her. Nursing is such a difficult thing and I want to do it soooooooooo badly, but I'm not going to lie-- it's rough! So, if you feel the need, pray for me to get her to eat! :D Other than that, she's very mellow and just so fun to have around!

The only other mild problem we have encountered is that she is slightly jaundice. Not enough to be really concerned with, but we have had to get it checked twice already.

So young, and yet already sun-bathing. What women won't do for beauty!

We had a really good time giving her the first bath at home. Tianna loved getting to help wash her hair.

Mary, she is sooooo beautiful! I am glad everything went well. Hey, about nursing, call La Leche, they are very good at helping. Or you could call me if you just need a sounding board. (435) 279-8452 I nursed all 4 of mine. Hang in there, it gets better.

Mark and Lachelle said...

Ahhhh! She is sooooo adorable, just like her big sis, and mom! Congrats! I bet Tianna loves having a little baby sister!

Sarah said...

She is so cute! And why isn't your hair more messed up! You could have tousled it a bit to make us feel better about our jacked up looks after delivering. It's so nice that Tianna likes her baby sister. I think there's the perfect amount of time between them so that you get to skip the unpredictable jealousy. And good luck with the nursing, I quit early so I have no good advice.
