Our little precious bundle is such a joy. It's amazing what miracles babies are. And Lilah truly is a miracle in our lives. She has brought us such happiness in just a short amount of time. We just stare at her most of the minutes of the day and kiss her head and cheeks no less than a hundred times.

She has been so lucky to have been born into such a loving circle of family and friends. They all have showered her with affection and love. Lilah has had lots of special visitors from close by and will have many more to meet when she travels back to Nebraska soon.

Hopefully, she hasn't scared any of friends off from having children soon... but her "poop face", as Ben has named it, is quite frightening!
It has been interesting being a pediatrician and thinking I kind of know what I'm doing and then actually having no clue when she came home from the hospital. Like how impossible it is to actually count the number of wet/poopy diapers or times she fed in a day... or the impractical part of starting "tummy" time in the first few days of life... or how to actually give a vitamin to a newborn... or not taking a newborn anywhere in the first month (this girl is a good little errand runner!). I know I should be using my maternity leave to study more, but the real life learning has been more than I could have ever imagined!

| Just sweet :) |
I've been incredibly lucky that she was born in spring and have loved our walks in the Museum of Art gardens in Indianapolis (I will have to post pictures soon... they're stunning!)
