baby josie!

 
Josephine Ruth Peterson
Born February 19, 2009 at 4:41am, 7lbs 3oz, 19 in. 
Words can't describe. 

 What a difference 6 weeks makes. Here I am Jan 4 and then Feb 17 (doing some living room yoga).

 Little Josie, seconds after being born with a cord around her neck and a tummy full of meconium, lying on the warming tray and trying to see her daddy through the nasty eye goop they put on. Such a sweetheart.
  Mere minutes old
 Here I am in postpartum talking to my mom with my freshly bathed baby
 Sleeping with daddy
 Little toes!
  Our walk home from the hospital
  We made it! (Now what?)
