Nora Kay Wise is here!

Hello everyone. Sorry it has taken us so long to post pictures of Nora. We have been very sleepy parents with our little rooster in the house. Nora was born one week ago on August 15th at 12:30 p.m. She was 6 lbs. 14 oz. at birth. She is a very sweet baby. She naps and nurses well-mostly-but also does her fair share of crying. This weekend Justin's parents came to visit us in the hospital and then Sue (Justin's mom) stayed with us a few extra days to help us acclimate to this new life. She was so great, I hardly even walked in my kitchen for 3 days. We are excited for my mom to make a visit in one week.

Nora got to try out her new stroller, swing, and bath tub this week. Unfortunately, when we were trying to get pictures of her after her bath in her cute ducky towel she started peeing on me so maybe next time we'll get a bathtime picture on here.

Here is Nora asleep in Grandpa Jeff's arms, trying out her new swing and with us in the hospital.

T-6 days and counting

Well, we are finally getting close to my due date. I am getting very excited to give birth although I know it won't be pleasant at the time. I've been trying to fit some last things in before the baby comes. I've gone on some dates with Justin, had coffee with friends, am attempting to make Artisan bread tomorrow, and doing water aerobics. I've also been passing the time watching the Olympics. I am feeling well, maybe a little more tired, but still pretty good. Justin plays in a softball tournament this week. He has games tonight and Tuesday and more if his team wins one or both of those games. He's been playing on this team since May with several other friends from our church. We're hoping he'll make it to all of the games. Our ideal date to go into labor is the 15th, Friday, or my actual due date the 16th. We of course, know it could happen at any time. Hopefully, our next post will include pictures of Baby Wise.
