Eliza is One Week Old

Eliza is one week old today. She is perfect. Truly! It kinda feels like she's fake. She has no tummy troubles (except hiccups) and therefore is a great eater, sleeper and is so easygoing. Yep, apparently the old adage of bad pregnancy = easy baby has come true. Mommy feels better than she has in months! Thank you, Eliza.

Eliza's eyes are quickly turning a dark brown and we love to stare into them. Her big sisters adore her: Laura cannot fall asleep without her special Eliza time; and Sara is always telling Eliza "Love you, 'Liza" as she asks "Can I kiss 'er" and was thrilled to discover when Eliza kissed Sara back (Eliza was hungry) this morning that "She loves me. She really loves me!"

I can't help but take a ridiculous number of pictures of Eliza. Here are some of my favorites. And yes, I was experimenting with Black and White to use for her baby announcements.

Also, we are beginning on the comparison pictures for Eliza like we did with Sara. I am trying it with a bigger animal (bunny this time) to hopefully make the comparisons a bit more obvious for longer. She looks ridiculously tiny now! But, then again, she is tiny - I keep having to remind myself she was a full 4 weeks early. We are using newborn sized clothing for the first time ever and it is still too big.
