Welcome to the World, Lila

Our beautiful daughter, Lila Claire Davis, arrived July 23rd at 2:04pm. Apparently she was eager to get her start in the world because she joined us exactly two months early, at 3 lbs 7 oz. A smooth pregnancy and a normal Saturday morning took a turn when I suddenly went into labor, and little Lila arrived just a few hours later. After almost five weeks in the NICU we now have her home with us, and it's wonderful experiencing life as a family of three.

Lila has proven to be a total trooper and a chow hound. Over the last eight weeks she's more than doubled her weight and is now close to 8 lbs. She's a top notch cuddler, and content as can be in someone's warm arms with a full belly. Most of her time is spent sleeping and eating, but she's starting to grace us with her blue eyes more and wake up long enough to check out the world around her. It goes without saying, I'm totally in love.
