Weighing in

We had a bbq with some friends on Saturday, and Marc and Natalie came with baby Madeleine who is 8 days older than Nicole. Let me just say that my baby is a lot bigger than theirs! I had Nicole weighed today since she is now 4 weeks old, and she's a whopping 10 lbs 8.5 oz! She's a little chunk, but oh so cute!

Happy Birthday Alex!

Nicole enjoyed the day with her dad! They took a nap together, watched the Euro 2008 soccer final, ate some cake, and played some x-box. What a day!

Nana's Visit

I was lucky enough to have my mom come visit for a week a few days after Nicole was born. It was SO nice to have her there to take the baby in the middle of the night so that Alex and I could get some sleep, and to watch the baby while I took a shower. Another great thing about having her visit was that she got me out of the house! Our first outing was to Sam's Club (exciting, huh?). We also hit Target, where my mom spoiled Nicole with lots of fun things. But the biggest outings were when we went to Princeton and Brandywine Valley. It was nice to be out and about - Nicole had tons of fun with her Nana and can't wait to see her again in July!

Baby Nicole

OK, I'm back. We've been busy adjusting to this new life with a baby and I realized I needed to show off my beautiful girl! We had her 1 week doctor appointment today, and she's already back to her birth weight of 7 lb 10 oz (she lost 7 oz by the time we left the hospital). The doctor said they usually give babies 2 weeks to get back to birth weight, but my little chunk of a baby is an overachiever! Here she is!

Nicole Emiko Robertson


She's here! Our sweet baby girl was born June 2, 2008 at 11:14 am. She weighed in at 7 lbs 10 oz, and was 21 inches long. She has long, thick, black hair and very Japanese looking eyes, and we think she's beautiful! Here's a picture from Alex's phone right after she was born - we'll add more later!
