That’s right!!  It’s Charlie Sue!! I am really excited to announce that Charlie came into the world on August 7th, at 11:15am.  Meeting her for the first time was absolutely amazing, and every day she still amazes both Y and I with her never-ending cuteness.

I can’t believe that it’s almost the end of August and she’s already over two weeks old!  Having a newborn seriously screws up not only your schedule, but your sense of time.  I never have any idea what day it is, and I’m usually totally shocked to find out that it’s already really late in the day when I feel like I’ve done absolutely nothing.

I’m not sure how many details you guys want - I don’t want to overwhelm everyone with my birth story, details about breastfeeding, and what items we registered for that I’ve found totally indispensable - unless you guys care.  I was actually interested in these things prior to getting pregnant (sick fascination, maybe? haha), so if you want me to, I’d be more than happy to share.

In the meantime, check out the above photo.  I never win anything, and in the past year I’ve won two totally awesome things: a super awesome portrait of Lulabelle from the über talented Aimée Hoover, and a priceless newborn session of Charlie Sue from the also amazingly talented Nancy of Bug and Bean Photography.

Last weekend Nancy came out to our house and took some beautiful photos of Charlie on her one week birthday.  So far we’ve only seen the above teaser, but it seriously took my breath away.  I can’t wait to see the rest!  

Before I go take a nap (I'm attempting to "sleep when the baby sleeps"), I’ll leave you with a few of our own snapshots (we're clearly not Nancy, haha):

Bonding time with papa (Y can get her to imitate him - when he sticks his tongue out, she does too!), and a rare one with her eyes open:
