Some more

I forgot to post this before.  But here is Jyl, our midwife weighing Teagan after birth. Cool, huh?  Teagan peed on her!
Me and my baby girl, snuggling.  It's so soothing for both of us and I am lucky enough to be able to snuggle a lot.  My family and especially Brian are really working hard to let me rest.Tessa got some new clothes from her aunt Christine and cousins Kaylee and Allison.  She LOVES them.

My brother, Cory, meets Teagan for the first time. She was 3 days old.  I was lucky enough to be there when my brother was being born.  I got to cut his cord and it was at this birth that I decided I would never find out the sex of my baby beforehand.  We didn't know he was a boy and to have that moment, in the world to be genderless is truly a gift.

First week with Teagan

Nana is keeping very busy, usually running around with Tessa but she got a quiet moment here to hold baby Teagan.  Nana was, as expected amazing during my labor.  She's seen many labors and would make an excellent doula! 

As you can see, Teagan is an fantastic addition to our family.  Tessa thinks it's great because they are both naked.  One of Tessa's favorite things-in the nude!
"We are doing this"  I keep thinking this and affirming this to myself and Brian.  Mornings have been very nice. And I feel most strong then, both physically and mentally.  Tessa is really doing well with the changes.  She's been loving and very protective of Teagan.  And very gentle.  The only upset has been in Tessa'a sleeping patterns but that's to be expected as we've had lots of visitors and activity. I am trying to "let it go"  also my daily affirmation.  Overall, the love that we are surrounded with has kept us floating. 
Thank you sooooo much to everyone who has brought us food and love. Thank you for thinking of us. We feel the power of your thoughts as we navigate through this somtimes crazy but mostly blissful time.
