Looking back...

Sometimes it's hard to believe that Rossleigh is just 9 1/2 weeks old.  When I look back at everything that she's been through in her short little life, it just doesn't even seem real.  It feels like it was almost like a dream?  Fortunately (and unfortunately), I have pictures to remind me of how far she has come...

September 26th, 2012 (just shortly before noon) - Happiest day of my life!!  :)
First time I got to see her - about 10:00pm
the day she was born. It was a LONG day!

First family photo - taken the morning of her surgery (5 days old)

Post-surgery in PICU/recovery.  Swollen, but rockin' the bow!  ;)

Post-surgery...Love the expression on her face!

Happy little bean pod!


Daddy getting to REALLY hold her for the first time after surgery.
  


First time for Nana, Pops, and Gigi to get to hold Rossleigh.  Such happy, happy grandparents!


First time to be able to wear CLOTHES!!!  ;)

Sweet, smiley girl

No tubes or wires!  Last night in the hospital.  Praise the Lord!

Finally at home in my own bed!!  :)

Rossleigh's First Thanksgiving

We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!  We spent ours surrounded with family and wonderful food.  We started off at Nana's house in Watauga for a Thanksgiving lunch with Rossleigh's Uncle David, Aunt Marcy, and her three cousins.  After the meal, everyone decorated Nana's three Christmas trees.  Since Nana worked so hard creating the meal, she took a break in the backyard with her two youngest grandbabies.
She started out on the chaise lounge with Rossleigh.  Jake is used to being Nana's number one guy, so he decided that he would climb up into Nana's lap with his cousin.  :)  Rossleigh didn't mind sharing.  Nana didn't seem to mind either!!  ;)


Then we headed over to Gigi's and Pop's house in Bedford.  We ended up getting there later than we expected (hard to always make a "plan" with a newborn...lol), so we missed the meal.  That was okay because Rossleigh got to spend some time with her Pops, Gigi, Mimi (great grandmother), Uncle Randy, Uncle Paul, Aunt Jeanette, and her cousin.

So Rossleigh's first turkey day was fun-filled but we were all three pretty tired by the time we went back home!!  Hope your day was as fun as ours!!  :)
