Alexa Lynne Black- 1 week old

My sister-in-law, Whittney, took these and many more when Alexa was one week old.  Her and Trent came to visit us when she was born.  She does a great job!

The day our daughter was born

The day Alexa Lynne was born was one of the happiest days of my life!  After being induced, and a 17 hour labor, I finally gave birth to a healthy, beautiful, baby girl.  She was born at 4:29 am on Saturday, July 9th.  She had to go to the NICU for an hour due to respiratory problems but everything was okay after that.  Now we are enjoying this new journey of parenthood and Harrison and I couldn't be happier!

Family Update

Well, I started this blog so as to begin a our family album/ newsletter so to speak.  Hope I can stay with it. :)
We gave talks in church on Sunday.  Harrison was asked to speak on "What it means to sustain" and I was asked to speaking on "Preparing for general conference".  It went well and I am relieved that we are done.  Harrison also got a surprise on Sunday.  He was called to be the 2nd Councelor in the Sunday School Presidency.  He is a little nervous but excited to start the calling and to be serving.  I think he will do a great job!
Alexa is still doing great and growing more and more each day!  She is now 11 weeks old.  She is still just tall and skinny!  Maybe she will be a model someday ;)  At her 2 mo. appt. she weighed in at 10 lbs exactly and 23 in. tall.  She has her "dramatic girl" moments, but for the most part is becoming a happy, content baby.  We love her tons and have so much fun with her!
