More from Brooke's birthday

She's a week and a half old now. Time flies when you're having fun! It's so rewarding to have a child. I can't imagine my life without her.

Even though these are from the day she was born, I just had to add them. I got them yesterday from my sister-in-law, Katie (thanks hun!). I love the lighting in these photos. I hope you enjoy them, too.

Brooke Marie Hecht 11.4.2008

Our little angel decided to make her grand appearance at 8:37 a.m. on November 4, 2008 (just in time to vote ;-) ). She tipped the scales at 9 pounds 7 ounces and 22 inches. With that trophy weight we decided we'll keep her :-).

Here are a few photos. Cody is taking to her very well. He's up all night whenever we are up just making sure she's okay when she's crying.

She's such a miracle. We are so blessed to have her in our lives!

4 days overdue & no baby yet...

Here we are again...Now, we are four days overdue and no sign of baby yet. Things are changing with my body, but nothing to get us headed to the hospital.

We had an appointment this morning and the doctor scheduled us to be induced on Thursday, November 6. So, unless we magically go into labor before we are planning to have the baby on Thursday. The good news is that we can finally see some light at the end of the tunnel. And, it's been a loooooong tunnel.

Now all I can think about is Thursday and wondering what she looks like and just how big she's going to be. Any guesses? I'm thinking well over eight pounds and about 21 inches. I guess we'll see soon enough! ;-)
