Back to Work

Daddy went back to work yesterday. After two weeks off, I don’t think he’s used to being back. We took a nap together when he came home tonight.

New Playpen

Mommy and Daddy bought me a new playpen to have in the living room. They were nice enough to put it together as soon we got home, so I took a nap in it!

Doctor's Appointment

I went back to see Dr. Goodis today, and I’m still perfect! We stopped at Mau’s house for lunch after our appointment, and I had a nap with Daddy.

More Visitors

We had our first visitors to the house today since I came home from the hospital. Mau and Papa John came for the afternoon. Here are a couple of pictures of us.

Doctor's Appointment

Today was my first appointment with my pediatrician, Dr. Goodis. She says I’m perfect!

First Walk

I went for my first walk outdoors today in my stroller, all wrapped up in the bundle bag that Grandma made to fit the stroller. Here are some pictures of the stroller (and me, of course).

Coming Home

We came home from the hospital today. Mau bought me this outfit, so we had to stop by her house on the way and show her how I looked in it!

Visitors

I had quite a few visitors come to see me these couple days.

Mommy’s parents live in Toronto, so they were close by and rushed in to see me as soon as they heard that I was born. I suspect that they were driving around close to the hospital waiting for Mommy and Daddy to call and tell them I had arrived. They tell me that I should call them Mau (rhymes with “go”) and Papa John. Here’s a picture of the three of us.



Daddy’s parents live out of town, but they were coming to Toronto this weekend anyways, so they came over to see me as soon as they got into town. They tell me I should call them Grandma and Grandpa. Here are some pictures of me with them (and I snuck in one of Mommy as well).



Daddy’s sister came along with Grandma and Grandpa. She tells me I should call her Auntie Hope, and that she’s going to spoil me rotten.



Mommy’s oldest brother (Uncle Marcus) and his family (Aunt Brenda, and my cousins Lauren and Alex) came by as well. Here are some pictures of me with Aunt Brenda and Lauren. Uncle Marcus and Alex were camera-shy (unlike me)!

Hello World!

Weighing in at 8 pounds, 15.9 ounces, I arrived into the world at 10:25 this morning. My name is Margaret Eleanor Victoria Evans, which my parents have shortened to Maggie or sometimes Maggie Lee. I am named for my Mommy's grandmothers (Margaret on her mother's side and Victoria on her father's side, and Eleanor comes from my surrogate great-grandmother, Auntie Lee).

With a little help from Mommy and Daddy, I will be keeping this blog updated with pictures and notes as I grow up.

Here are a couple pictures of my first few hours that Daddy and Mommy took. Mommy won’t let me post any pictures of her in the hospital, because she thinks she looks awful.



A little later, I had a nap with Daddy.



Here’s a shot of me sleeping after the nurses showed Mommy and Daddy how to give me a bath.



Today was an extremely eventful (not to mention somewhat uncomfortable) day for me, so I’m going to go to bed now. More tomorrow!
