introducing Ruby Alice

Our new little bundle arrived at 1:46 last Tuesday afternoon after a short, 6-hour labor and only one push. She was 19 inches long and weighed 6 lbs. 12 ozs. - more than 2 lbs. less than Johnny Boy!
Both Momma and Baby are doing well. She likes to eat and I'm up and busy with my boys already (it's hard to ignore them!) Between the 3, they keep me busy!
She wasn't quite latching on correctly at the first, so I got an infection. My medicine turned her mouth a bit purple - she's so embarassed! :)
Ruby is a quiet baby and already sleeps 6 hours at night. She's our little angel and we love her so! Sam loves to hold her and while John can get a little crazy with toys around her head, he can be real soft and loving, too. We're so lucky to get a little girl to stick around here on earth with us. I'm excited for all the fun I will have with my little sidekick in the future. Yay for Ruby!
