Photo Shoot!

I just barely took these pictures but I was so excited about the outcome I couldn't wait to post them. I have seen lots of pictures lately of babies in baskets and loved them. I really was wanting someone who knows what they're doing to take some pictures of Darcy, but I don't know anyone here in Pittsburgh and I don't really have any money to spare at the moment either. Anyway, today since Drew is home I had him help me put together a little set and we took some pictures. I just can't help but be soo proud of myself for how they turned out!! :) Isn't my baby the cutest thing in the whole world!? She was so good for the whole thing. Enjoy!

Also, yesterday I took Darcy for her first checkup. We went to a one week checkup in Philadelphia, but when we walked into the pediatricians office (in the ghetto...I did not realize this was the place I had chosen) I got a huge pit in my stomach because it was nasty in there and it was filled with some sketchy people. I honestly felt like crying at the thought of taking my new baby to see a doctor there. There was a man guarding the door to the back rooms...do people try to rush the doctors or something?! After sitting there for a minute my mom leaned over to me and said, "You don't have to stay here you know." What a thought! I jumped right up and headed out the door. Scary! So we ended up having her first checkup at two weeks instead. That was a long story to get to the point....At two weeks and one day old she weighed 8 lbs. 12 oz. and was 21 inches long. She has gained over a pound! The doctor said that was phenomenal, so we'll keep stuffing her face I guess. :)

P.S. The first one is our favorite. We're going to have it blown up. Click on it for a better look.
