Charlotte's First Month

Our sweet baby girl will be a month old on Thursday! She is doing great! She has had lots of visitors. Paula and Patricia were here two weekends ago, my dad and Jake were here last weekend and Courtney is coming this weekend. We have loved having them here and we're thankful for all of their help! Here are some pictures of the past month.

Charlotte Elizabeth Allen is here!!!

Drew and I could not be happier! Little Charlotte is just the best and cutest baby ever! My labor was actually wonderful! I was induced at 9:00 and then got an epidural at 10:30 when my contractions were strong and two minutes apart. She was born after only about 5 contractions at 2:59 pm. She is healthy and beautiful! Her weight was 8lbs 4oz and her length was 19 3/4".

She has been such a good baby. She eats and then stays awake for a little bit just looking around. After she is awake for about 30 minutes, she sleeps for about an hour and a half or two hours and then eats again. The days have gone by so fast and we just can't believe that she is already a week old. We love her so much already and can't wait for everyone to meet her. Here are some pictures of our sweet baby girl! By the way, to see pictures bigger just double click on them. To get back to the blog hit esc.
