The first 3 months

Elizabeth Claire Jurgensmeier was born at 1:09pm on April 15, 2009 (her due date!) and was 8 lbs 6 oz, 21.5" long. The last three months since she was born have been such a blur. They've been the best three months of my life- having Elizabeth in my life makes me feel like the luckiest mom in the world! Here's a picture recap on her first 3 months...

Right after she was born she had to be rushed off to the newborn intensive care unit because of meconium in her lungs. It was scary but I knew she was in good hands with the staff at Banner Gateway.

Four days later we got to take her home- our sweet little bundle!



Once we got home she had lots of visitors- including Nonnie and Grandpa!




She went on lots of walks with Mommy and Daddy (and the pups!)...



Had her first bath...


Cuddled a lot with Mommy...


...and with Daddy...



Spent lots of times with G&G Gallaher, G&G Jurgensmeier, and Grandma Marni!


And her best buds like Ava (yes, in matching outfits)...



Elizabeth started smiling at 6 weeks, laughing at 10 weeks, and grabbing for things at 12 weeks. We can't wait to see what she'll do next!
