Alana Joy Salt

On March 3rd 2011 at approximately 7:54 am, we welcomed Alana Joy Salt into our family. She came via c-section because she was breech and because I was having some problems with high blood pressure. She was 7 lbs 4 oz and 20.5 inches long.

37 weeks and 2 days

Nathan pretending he was asleep. We had to be at the hospital at 5:15 that morning, so we were a little bit tired that day...

Me strapped to the table. I was crying and it was sad because I could barely even see what was going on from where I lay. : (
A thumb!
First bath
I think I was on the phone with my dad when they brought her in. I was still a little loopy from the medicine and from the early morning. It was very hard to stay awake and I think Alana was a little sleepy too.
We like to call her our little frog
Mommy and baby. My face is a little red because the morphine that they gave me made me itch like crazy! I know I was only supposed to rub...but I scratched a couple times too...

Going home!
First nights sleep. We had her sleep in her car seat because her nose was getting so stuffy since it is so dry in Utah. We had to get some boogers out earlier that night with tweezers so that she could breath. Let me tell you, it was traumatic. But then she could breath easier so she was fine.
Today's outfit. Don't you just love the hat? My mom made it. And she's almost smiling.

So far, she is such a good little girl. She hardly cries, unless she is hungry, but even then, only for a few seconds. She loves to look around and also loves to sleep. We love her tons and tons and can't get over how cute she is!
