Little Amelia Florence Couper is born Saturday, September 3, 2011 at 1:30 pm. She arrives a few weeks early. She is just as excited to meet us as we are to meet her!
She is beautiful and pink and has an amazing head of hair!
She weighs 7lbs, 6 oz and is 20.5 inches long.
One of the first things she does is grab Daddy's finger....
...and attempts to eat it! As we would soon learn, this is an indication of her very healthy appetite.
She has very long, curly toes. Just like Daddy's!
Aren't they, uh, amazing?
She is very tired from her journey and settles into a nice sleep once she is clean and dry and warm.
One of her favourite places to sleep is on Mommy.
Our midwife, Carolyn, is with us every step of the way. She stays for awhile after Amelia is born to make sure we are both OK.
In the first few hours after she is born, Amelia and Daddy spend some time together getting to know each other.
In the evening of the day she was born, Maggie and Malena come to the hospital to meet Amelia. They stayed overnight at our place on Friday, while Mommy & Daddy were at the hospital, and played with Lily the next day.
Daddy come back that evening as well to hold little Amelia and whisper beautiful things in her ear.
When she has had *enough* and wants to go back to sleep in her bed, Amelia gently lets Daddy know!
The next day, Lily comes back for another visit with her brand new little sister. She is very excited to spend time with *her* baby!
Lily is concerned that Amelia might be cold, so she pulls her little hat down a bit further.
A bright light was shining on our little angel from the very first minute :)
