Introducing our Girl, Gwendolyn

Today Gwen is already 4 days old!
I can't believe how much our life has changed this week. Labor and delivery was no piece of cake. My blood-pressure kept dropping and poor baby Gwen had her share of hardships with her heart-rate dropping. (They almost had to put us through an emergency c-section. I was scared out of my mind, not for the c-section, but for the health of our baby girl.)
In the end, she had the cord wrapped around her neck and was laying strange, so my  body kept pinching off her blood supply at the cord... I am so happy everything turned out good and that Gwen turned a regular color after she was purple at birth ;)

Here we are, with the probably cutest girl I've ever seen (no, I'm not biased ;))
As for now, just a few close ups, I was not planning a shoot and did not set up anything, so maybe next time i'll get some whole body shots.

Crazy fact: Her belly button fell off today during the cloths change. She's got a little birthmark on her nose... and yes, she pulls it off! ;)
Crazy prediction: I think she will have brown eyes. (They look like Max's looked at birth) and with any luck, she'll have red hair. It's hard to tell right now cause she pretty much has no hair at all ;)

We are thankful for a healthy girl and that our adorable boys lover her almost as much as we do. Max insists in holding her all the time and was confused when I made a trip downstairs to refill my water and no Gwen was with me.
