Day two in the life of Enna-Marie Martha

When I woke up this morning, and looked at the pictures of the first day in the life of beautiful Enna-Marie, my heart was longing to be with her at that time. I think I am now only just beginning to understand what the love of a parent for a child could mean! What a wonderful blessing!!

When we arrived at the hospital, Menchie had just tried to breastfeed Enna-Marie again. She still has a little bit of difficulty latching on, but both mother and Enna are learning quickly :) For most of the day today she slept, and when she was awake she would be either quietly looking about her, or be a bit fussy and cry...

While yesterday her cries were really minor, today she gave us a taste of what her lungs are already capable of!

It seems she is well adjusting to her transition from the womb-world into our world, and her proud father thinks he was able to already discern a faint smile on her face!

Here are a few more pictures and two small movie clips for you to enjoy (less dark than the previous posting)!
