announcing our sweet new arrival!

well - last time I wrote - I was looking more like this:

and now I'm sitting here looking at this: 

my sweet girl - Matilda Joy Thiessen is finally here!

Born Wednesday morning, November 14 at 3:58am

Weighing 8 pounds 3 ounces

20 inches long

 last night was our first night at home with Matti - and, well we survived! my sweet girl seems to be some what of a cluster feeder every now and then - so she & I are figuring out our routine and Michael is spending lots of quality snuggling time with her when she's not nursing. 

 I am so in love with this little bundle! And I am so thankful for her safe arrival - with a lot of help from Michael, my mom, my nurses and my doctor - who decided to step in and do an emergency c-section (I will write out her birth story eventually and put it on here)

 I know I will write more about her in the next little while, but right now I need to go get a few things done before she's ready to eat again!! And in the mean time I'll just stare at her sweet sleeping face!!

Matilda Joy - Welcome home - you are so loved!
