Those very first days!

Well, as every now knows, Piper did not wait until her due date to arrive. Officially one month early and on January 12, 2012 at 12:29am  and weighing 5lbs 15oz, 

we met out beautiful baby girl for the very first time. 

Here are a few of our favourite photos of her very first hours and days!

Very first photo of Piper and Mommy!
This was taken just after they brought me back into the room
after my surgery!

And very first photo with Daddy!

Smitten already!

Chapstick. Just for scale!
Yes, I'm TINY!

First spa day!

It's a girl!

First family photo!

Cuddle with Aunt Cindy.
She was supposed to be present for the birth,
but Piper came 1 month early and
Aunt Cindy then showed up 12 hours too late!

Sooooooo much hair!

Some things are worth everything!
I am so in love!

We don't have any clothes small enough. 

Daddy feeding his princess.
She wasn't gaining weight fast enough,
so we had to supplement breast-feeding with bottles.

A little bit jaundice?

The nurse that delivered me!

Cuddles with Aunt Cindy on my "going home" day!

The bunting bag from Nanny Pope and Nanny Grandy
is just a wee bit too big, don't you think?

Finally!
January 17th I get to go home for the first time!
Note the borrowed car seat.
We thought we had another month to get one! :-)
