Side by Side

There are definitely similarities between Mac and Vivian, as many have commented. I was curious to see if the pictures matched how I remembered things… what do you think?
Three Weeks Old
Jill | June 26, 2010
My biggest regret at this point is that I haven’t taken nearly enough pictures! I got some from my mom, but I should have my camera attached to me…
Mac is still doing really well. He is interacting more with Vivian when she’s on the floor or in her bouncy seat. He likes to cover [...]
Finally… A Middle Name!
Jill | June 15, 2010
I finally made up my mind on a middle name for Vivian. It took a while because of all the opinions I’ve been getting and my lack of decision-making abilities lately (maybe a bit due to lack of sleep?!)… I asked Jeremy to help me decide, but it turns out what I really needed was [...]
2nd Week
Jill | June 15, 2010
Vivian slept through the night for the first time on Sunday night. Unfortunately, Mac woke up crying at 2:00 a.m.! Last night, she woke only once to eat at 4:30, but again Mac woke up early - at 6:30. Well, eventually we’ll get things worked out.
I noticed yesterday that Vivian was able to track [...]
Baby Vivian: Day 5
Jill | June 7, 2010
Vivian is four days old. Last night wasn’t great as far as sleeping and eating, but it wasn’t too terrible either.
Jeremy put together the new double stroller that Roxi bought us, and Mac immediately climbed in - before he was even dressed! Once everyone was ready to go, we took it out for a ride [...]
Baby Vivian: Day 4
Jill | June 6, 2010
We made it through our first night at home pretty well. Vivian woke up to eat about three times total, though the first was before I even had a chance to go to sleep. Jeremy took care of her as long as he could before she needed to eat.
Jeremy was off to work early in [...]
Baby Vivian: Day 3
Jill | June 5, 2010
A much better start today! Vivian ate and slept well overnight, and I slept well too. After her 4:00 feeding, I had Jeremy get up to help me get her ready to take her back to the nursery. I walked her there myself this time to get moving a bit. I knew that if I [...]
Baby Vivian: Day 2
Jill | June 4, 2010
Well, Mommy didn’t start off in the best shape for this day, but Daddy and Vivian slept great! The morning was rough after not sleeping much, but once the day got underway, I did pretty well. And we had a quiet day with just Mom with us most of the day, which helped me to [...]
Welcome, Vivian!
Jill | June 3, 2010
Another great day for the Elferings! Our daughter was born by C-section at 10:03 a.m. measuring 21 inches and weighing in at 8 pounds 10 ounces, and a 14 inch head circumference. Her Apgar scores were 9 and 9, and she is thriving.
We all woke up early, of course. Mom and I got Mac ready [...]
