My baby girl! Elsbeth Ashton Mobley, born April 9th.Now part of my brain is saying, "You haven't slept in 12 days, your toddler is asleep, and you just fed your infant ... perhaps you should go to bed." However an even bigger part is screaming, "But you don't even have one picture of your precious baby girl on your blog yet!" So I have decided to quickly quiet the voices in my head before catching a snooze between feedings.
Mommy happy to be holding her Nibblet on the outside
We got home today (Saturday) around lunchtime and are doing really well. Elsbeth is a wild and crazy eating machine, insisting on meals every 12 minutes or so. I'm thrilled! (Remind me how thrilled I am at 4am ...)
Daddy loves his little girl
Phil is so at ease with his brand new born - expert swaddler, burper, and even diaper changer. (!)
Nina cozy with ElsbethI will not ever be able to express how perfect is was to have my mom here with Andrew while I was in the hospital, and how glorious it is that she's staying for the next week.
And other than already being spoiled by the constant attention from his Nina, Andrew is doing just beautifully with his new big brother role.
My heart is so full! Today, life is perfect.

I'm so happy for you!
We're so excited with you! She looks so beautiful and happy. Have a good nap!
What a cutie. I'm glad you sacrificed your well-deserved sleep so we could enjoy these pics. Now go take a nap while Mom is there. :)
SHE IS BEAUTIFUL!!! I know you are so delighted to be holding her in your arms!!!! We're going to Honduras Tuesday, and I can hardly wait to love on all of those kiddos and babies! Not my own, but I'm still excited!! P.S. If one more person tells me, "It will happen just when we quit trying" or "Stop thinking about it and it will happen" I'm going to explode!
Oh, friend, I am so very, very overjoyed for you. Beautiful baby girl, sweet family. We love you all.
Congratulations! I hope you are getting as many 12 minute naps as possible :-) I can't wait to meet you little girl in person. It is sweet perfection, isn't it?
Congratulations! I think we are living identical opposite lives- call me in another 3 years and we'll decide who can have a girl and who gets a boy the next time! Elsbeth is beautiful, you are so blessed!
Very sweeeeeeeet--I can't believe you took the time to post so soon!! But glad to see everyone!
I love Andrew says her name. Nice drawl. :) Congrats! Get some sleep mama.
Oh, and I also like the change in blog title (although that could have happened months ago without my noticing) ;0)
Congrats, congrats, congrats!! What a little, tiny sweet bundle!! And how do you look like a smokin' hot fox after giving birth? I just hate you a tiny bit. BUT, I am so happy that you are experiencing the joy (and eye pokes) of sibling love! Much love to you BFF!
yea!
AWH!!! How precious!! I LOVE how Andrew says Elsbeth! This entry makes me cry with tears of happiness for ya'll!! Congrats a hundred times!!
Elsbeth is just beautiful. Congratulations! I am so happy for you and your family. I played the video about 5 times just hear Andrew say his new sister's name over and over. Sounded like he said "Elsbef". Too cute!
