Dressed to impress

This past week Eliza celebrated the one month mark! I can't believe how fast time is flying! She is finally getting big enough (though not entirely) to fit into her newborn clothes instead of her preemie outfits, and we thought we'd celebrate by taking a couple of snapshots after church especially because this is the first time that Ellie has worn a dress (thank you Aimee and Marshall)! As you can see, she also loves the blanket that her Auntie Em made!

I love Mommy!

I love Daddy!

Happy family!

So cute!

I'm a Flamenco dancer!

No more pictures, Mom!

You've got a friend in me!

This post is to thank all of our wonderful friends for the love and support they've given us from before Eliza was born through the first 3 weeks of her life. Steph was admitted into the hospital the Monday before Eliza was born as a precaution due to Eliza's breech position and Steph's early dilation, but I don't think Steph spent more than 3 hours total (not including sleeping time) alone while she was at the hospital. I spent the majority of the time w/ her in her room, but when I had to go home to take care of Sadie or do a little work there was always a friend willing to spend a few hours w/ her while I was gone. We feel so blessed to have such wonderful friends who care so much and are so willing to help when they're needed. We can only hope to repay your kindness in the future. Here are a few pics of some of our wonderful friends w/ Eliza:

I feel pretty, oh so pretty

Since Eliza was born about 3.5 weeks early, all the clothes we had for her were too big. So, Grandma Nguyen came through in the clutch and bought her a new outfit she actually fit in! We think she looks so cute in the outfit and we're a little sad that it'll only fit for a short time, but there'll be many more cute outfits to come!

Family, isn't it about...time?

Since Eliza's been born she's been visited by her grandmas, grandpa, & even her great grandmother. We've been so grateful for our family coming to help us out during the first 2 weeks of Eliza's life. We really don't think we could've done it alone!
