Hiccups

Today was Sara's last day with us. She goes back home to Michigan tomorrow and it was so nice to have her here. It's not that Chris and I couldn't have handled being home with Evie for the first week on our own, but those first few days were killer and it was really nice having someone who could give us a temporary break or nap. It makes me wish we lived nearer to a lot of people, but that's what makes visiting so great, I guess; it means more in the long run when you see friends and family.

Evelyn has become the hiccup champion since arriving in the world. She didn't really seem to have them much when I was pregnant with her; at least not nearly as much as she has them now. It seems she has the hiccups at least twice a day. Right now, as I write this, I am listening to the sounds of Evie hiccuping through the baby monitor. Just when I think she is done they start up again. They mostly stop after about five minutes, but it's still pretty funny to hear these big hiccups coming out of this tiny body.

Today was also a day of lovely gifts. Nana (Sylvia) sent some outfits from the fantastic store of Janie and Jack. When we pulled the box out of the brown paper it was wrapped in and I saw the name on it I knew that whatever was inside was going to kill us with cuteness. Nana does not disappoint. I will have to take some pictures. There are several little outfits, all in pink, that will fit Evelyn when she is between 6-12 months and a cute hat and bib. On the one hand, I can't wait for her to fit into these clothes. On the other hand, I don't want her getting too big too fast! The other gift was from my mom's friend, Alice. She sent two really cute outfits as well, a hat, and a blanket. There is just something about little girls that makes people want to buy clothes.

Without further ado, here are some pictures from today! Chris was burping her and she just looked too cute in his big hand:
