Charlotte Francis is Here!!! (Peri & Tacky's Human sister!)

[Allyson, Peri & Taquito]

Forgive me for being so tardy with this post...life has been so hectic, to say the least!

 

Charlotte Francis came 2 weeks early on Friday, September 21st at 7:47 a.m.  She came after only 12 hours of labor (pretty good for a first timer, right?) and weighed 6 lb, 11 oz and is 19" long. 

 

Miss Charlotte is absolutely perfect and we are smitten with her.  The dogs are getting adjusted quite well.  Peri is very respectful of her space and comes up to gently steal kisses and then quickly backs off (especially as soon as I ask her to get off).  Taquito has been ignoring her pretty much - until the past few days.  He now sits right next to me during feedings and came up to smell her today.  I think things are going very well considering such a big change has occurred in choodle's life.  Peri sometimes gets up in the middle of the night to come say hi in the nursery while Charlotte is nursing. She just comes in, licks me and then goes back to her bed (just in the master, in the room next door).  And Tacky is still sleeping in our bed, snug as a bug in a rug :)

 

I promise I will post better pics soon - more of Baby Charlotte with the dogs.  And for some reason, I can't get these to rotate.  Aaah - brain dead mommy mind right now!  Sorry.

 

AND THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THE WELL WISHES!  I HAVE MISSED YOU ALL SO MUCH.  I will be around again soon, but I am trying to nap whenever she naps and really just don't know where my days end up going....

Congratulations on the safe arrival of your beautiful little girl. I think we may be able to find it in our hearts to forgive your tardiness with this post. :>) Enjoy that precious baby and drop in when you can. There are enough mommies to human children here that you have a great resource should you need it.
