6:30 p.m. Day 4 of Lily's Life
Good Day! While our little one was fast asleep we thought we'd take the time to update the blog and cook dinner (meatloaf for anyone who's in the area!). Lily is doing really well. While Lily has enjoyed breastfeeding, Pamela hasn't enjoyed the soreness of it so we went to the breastfeeding clinic today and it made all the difference! The nurse told us that Lily has a long tongue and likes to do quick sucks both which are counter productive so she taught us some techniques to help us to train Lily so she gets a full meal.

The photo of Lily in the purple dress (thanks Nana!) and white blanket (thank Great-Grandma Wolfe!) was on Thursday August 3rd -the day we brought Lily home. The photo of the lily is from one of the bouquets that have been delivered to us by family & friends. The photo of Lily sucking her thumb is from August 4th - day 3 of her life.

We're enjoying our time with Lily. It's been so amazing learning all about this little treasure. There are so many things that I look forward to with our new family that I sometimes catch myself and remind myself that Lily will never be four days old again and that I need to enjoy the here and now.

I'd like to thank Heidi Tsao for her wonderful baby gift of the 'Introduction'. She did a wonderful job and it was great to be able to send it out to people to announce Lily to our friends and family.

Well, the time honoured advice of 'sleep when the baby sleeps' is sooo true - so I sign off for now but look forward to our next update! PPS
