I just sleep, eat and eat and eat and eat...

I think this picture really demonstrates what Elisa's life is like....all except, well , she's not eating in this picture. I love this picture because she looks so content. She's a great baby and in fact we had our 2 week appointment today and she has gained one pound! The doctor was surprised, but not mom. She eats consistantly every 2 hours and takes her sweet time, too. Mom is exhausted at times, but it's all worth it.

Our days our filled with changing diapers, having visitors, eating, diapers, sleeping, eating, and mom trying to get some things done in the meantime.

My mom's fiance was in town these past few weeks and was a huge help hanging pictures and decorating her room and he even bought Elisa her crib mattress...so she is sleeping in her own room as mom and dad try to get some shut eye.

Ahhhh!

She has finally arrived and boy have our lives changed. Elisa (pronounced El - Lisa) Daniela Castillo was born July 1, at 2:48 am. She weighed 6 pounds 7 ounces and was 19 1/2 inches long.

I went to work on Friday and wasn't feeling too hot, but just contributed it to a long work week, then I walked in my house and my water broke! I was shocked! Wil made it home shortly thereafter and off we went to the hospital. Labor was about 8 1/2 hours long, which they say is pretty good for a first child. Overall, it went really well.

She is definitely Daddy's little girl. She has dark brown, almost black hair and lots of it. She is also considered pre-term or not quite a preemie, so she is pretty small. Newborn outfits are pretty big on her. :) So, we need to fatten her up.
