12 days later...

If you had told me 13 days ago how much our whole world would change there's no way I would/could have believed you. But here we are, 12 days after the birth of the most amazing little girl.

The birth was slightly more exciting then we would have liked but about 12 hours after being admitted we were on our way to the postpartum floor. We luckily had TONs of support including a whirlwind visit from my dad:

Thankfully my mom had flown out on my actual due date to get the lay of the land and jumped at the opportunity to help at the hospital:

And with tummy time at home:

Caroline and Jean also made an appearance:

From where I stand as a very sleep deprived first time mom, it's clear that baby Charlotte is lucky to have so much family that loves her, and that's willing to put up with her crazy mother :o)
