One Month!
Nina is one month old!
She has been an amazingly mellow baby over this first month. We'd like to think it's all due to our much more relaxed attitudes with baby #2, but in fact we think we just got lucky with a happy, calm baby who loves to sleep!
Nina's accomplishments in month 1 include: sleeping, eating, slight head lifts (and few tears) during tummy time, filling up the diaper bin on a regular basis, and, in the past day or two, smiling! Nina's first smile came when Paul and Sam were talking to her -- we aren't surprised that Sam would make her smile!
Speaking of Samantha, she has far exceeded our expectations as a big sister. She is extremely attentive and doting on Nina. The first thing she wants to do in the morning when she gets out of bed is run in to check on Nina, and whenever Nina makes the slightest cry, Sam assures her: "It's okay Nina, Mama's here, Dada's here, Sam's here...". Sammy also loves to help us out with Nina, getting her a new diaper, running to get her blankets, etc. We feel very lucky that the transition has (so far) been as smooth as it has!
Here are a few pictures from Nina's first month. So far, we think she looks a lot like her sister Sammy!

Nina Quinn!
We are so excited to announce the birth of our new baby girl! Nina Quinn Breckenridge was born at 7:00 a.m. on Friday, November 20, 2009. Nina weighed 7 lb 9 oz, and measured 20.5 inches in length -- very similar to the measurements of her big sister!
Big sister Samantha got to meet Nina on Friday morning when she came to the hospital with Grandma. While Sam was understandably a little reserved at first -- mom in a hospital bed, a new baby swaddled up, lots of machines everywhere, and all four of her grandparents plus Aunt Abby in one place! -- she quickly warmed up, and alternated between being curious about Nina and wanting to hold her, to serving as our entertainment as she danced around the room.
As I post this, Nina is now nearly a month old!(It's taken a while to get our act together on the new blog site...). More updates, and photos, to come. For now, though, here are a few pictures of Nina on Days 1 and 2!
