My mother-in-law Emily sent these to me last week and I wanted to take a picture of them. I love that they are in a pumpkin that I can put out every Halloween and remember the birth of our daughter. We can't wait for Rod and Emily to come out and meet their new granddaughter. Amelie is so lucky to have two sets of amazingly loving grandparents.
Here are her stats from her check up yesterday:
At 8 days of age Amelie weighted in at 7.21 putting her at the 25.4%
Height 21.75 inches putting her at 96%
Her head circumference is 13.5 putting her 23.03%
Tall and Skinny (she takes after her daddy) 
Her first week of life was a little stressful with her neonatal jaundice and feeling like I had no control. I've had an easy recovery. Aside from my hormones making me a little sensitive/overly stressed things are going well.I started walking and that seems to be helping me calm down and counter act the hormonal ups and downs. I put Amelie in a sling and walk with her close to me with music on.She really is such a sweet baby. Breastfeeding is kicking my butt! I'm trying to get Amelie on somewhat of feeding schedule since she basically snacks all day long. Her Pediatrician had an idea so I'm trying that. She already sleeps for about 5 hours straight at night.We think she has Van Wagenen eyes all the way. My parents think she looks a lot like me as a baby. We had her newborn pictures taken yesterday and hopefully will have them back next week. I can't wait to see how they turned out! Things are going more smoothly here but I'm defiantly looking forward to being in Colorado where the Grandparents can be more involved.

She is SO CUTE! I can't wait to meet her! Except, she'll probably be crawling all over the place by the time we get to see you guys again.... crazy! Thanks for the updates!!
Impressive that she's already sleeping 5 hours at night. That was the biggest struggle with Abe in the beginning. Hopefully you'll get her on a schedule soon, life is heaven once that happens:)
Awww! It sounds like she is doing great and you are coping remarkably well, too. I was so weepy for the first couple of weeks of Jude's life... typical baby blues. Don't worry, it'll get better. Actually, that should be, like, the tagline for new mommydom. "Motherhood: Don't worry, it gets better." :)
For the millionth time, I CAN'T WAIT to see her (and you and Rob) in December!
