Now There's Three in the Family





Isis Elizabeth Gwin was born Monday, May 21st at 1:17am. She weighed 5lbs. 7 oz. and was 19 inches long. She was quite a surprise, coming 5 weeks early. They didn't give a reason but I'm thinking it might have had something to do with jumping rope with my Kindergarteners the Friday before.:) She was in the NICU for a week for her little lungs and jaundice. But now she's home, healthy, and getting fatter.:)

The first month was, well, quite honestly, miserable. I thought I would handle the lack of sleep without much problem. Oh how little I knew about myself! Nonetheless, we have servived. We're up to 5 or 6 hours a night! Yea! Good thing she's cute or this would be a lot harder. Isis is a good baby and smiles a lot (when she's not hungry). All is well with us!
