IT'S A GIRL!

The newest member of the Kostopoulos family came into our lives on Saturday April 29, 2006 at 1:02 a.m. She weighed in at 3,300 kilos (7 pounds and 54 ounces) and was 50 cm (19, 5 inches) long.

Baby Girl Kostopoulos

Mom did not have a hard time during labor and the baby was out in 15 minutes. Our little one is very quiet at home. She only wakes us up for her milk. She is very active and she turned her head for the first time when she was only 5 days old.

Just one of the many sleepless nights with her.
But she is so cute, she can keep me up all night; its OK with me!

Newborns are a miracle of life. It is difficult to believe it even when holding her in your arms. Sometimes I just keep looking her little face for hours.

Every morning she wakes up early and she has a lot of energy. She is alert and wants to play. She moves her hands and legs.  Of course she will get all your attention, not matter what. All it takes is one smile. You just can't resist.

From the very fist bath, this baby loved the water. As long as the water was running, she would not complain. So, since the weather was good, I inflated a plastic swimming pool. Although she was only 45 days old and she could not wait to go swimming. Once inside the pool, she was not afraid at all, she really liked the feel of water. She was so relaxed in there, she ate her milk and she even fell asleep. It looks like she will be a swimmer like her dad.
