Below are a few pictures from Rosemary's first week. We spent the whole week at the hospital, but we were able to bring home a happy, healthy, and beautiful (I may be a bit biased) baby.

This was taken shortly after Rosemary was born, after she had been cleaned up in the special care nursery. She made her arrival on January 31, 2006, at 3:15 pm, weighing 7 lbs, 6 oz. She was 19 inches long.

Here I am with Joanna, our labor and delivery nurse. She was there with me almost the entire time. Although, since things progressed so quickly, she didn't have much time to go anywhere else! I went in for an office visit at 8:40 am and Rosemary was here just a few hours later.

When Rosemary was born, she spent the first few hours in the special care nursery to make sure that she was going to be alright. Our family was able to get a peek at her through one of the windows. Here are Michelle, Breanna, Matthew, Olivia, Tim, Elizabeth, and Ezekiel looking at their new niece and cousin.

Sleeping soundly.

Rosemary was given this little knitted blanket in the nursery. The nurses doted on her so much.

Grandma and Grandpa Workmaster visited on Saturday. Rosemary loved sitting on Grandma's lap.

Our Gator baby!

Rosemary had her first "professional" pictures taken in her orange and blue.

Getting ready to come home. Finally! We made it back home today, February 7. A week to the day after she was born.
Thank you to everyone who was praying for us. Rosemary is doing well! She remained on the anti-biotics mainly to prevent anything developing once we got home. She's doing so well now and already weighs 7 lbs., 10 oz.
