Lila Kate Martin was born on Oct. 29 and has brought so much joy into our lives. She was born on a Wednesday night, and she surprised us all when she came in at 10 lbs. She was the talk of the hospital and the biggest baby born that day. She is incredibly loved and within one hour of her life she was held by Gigi, Papa, Aunt Kelly, Mimi, Grandpa, Uncle Derek, Aunt Victoria - and of course her proud dad and mom. She was 21.5 inches long. The first night, she slept beside me in the hospital and every time she made a sound I pulled out the bulb suction and made sure nothing was blocking her airway. I was obsessed!
At ten weeks old, she had a routine check up with the doctor and weighed 15 lbs, 8 oz and measured 25.5 inches. She had grown four inches right before our very eyes! Every time I take her out in public people tell me that "she makes their day." I can relate, because she always makes my day! We call her "Smiley Liley" because she hands out smiles like there's no tomorrow.
Her favorite things right now:
- Compliments
- "Little Miss Muffet"
- A good nap in her swaddle
- Sounds of the ocean in her sound machine
About 30 seconds after she was born, actually before her feet were even out yet, my mom declared that she looked just like Clint. And she was right, because some people swear I had nothing to do with bringing that child into the world. If they had been in that delivery room, they would beg to differ!
