Welcome to 4 AM
Mia Bean slept nearly 4 hours straight tonight, 11 to almost 3. This meant that Mama got three hours of uninterrupted sleep, which was lovely. However, Mia has decided that we have slept enough and have no reason to go back to bed. So, since we are up, I decided to post a few more pictures of my lovely and clever and wide-awake daughter. Yes, I do know she is the most beautiful child ever, but I hate to brag.
Posted by Beth at August 11, 2005 04:26 AMScrew it Beth, brag away as she does seem to be quite a looker. All parents think so but you've got a good chunk of the web agreeing with you. Nice job!
Posted by: Nic at August 11, 2005 05:43 AMGo ahead and brag I always did. I sure hope you get in a good nap today.
Posted by: Beanhead at August 11, 2005 07:12 AMShe's just beautiful Beth. Brag away! I hope you get a few more hours of sleep soon :)
Posted by: DaFFy at August 11, 2005 07:20 AMshe is very cute, but you should really talk to her about the whole sleeping thing. ;)
Posted by: Nicole at August 11, 2005 08:14 AMShe is beautiful. I envy you this time with her. Enjoy because it's past and they're in an entirely different stage before you can believe it.
Did you ever get that walk the other day?
Posted by: cassie-b at August 11, 2005 08:46 AMShe's gorgeous! And good luck on getting a nap in. Seriously, sleep whenever she does.
Posted by: Krush at August 11, 2005 08:47 AMShe is beautiful. You have every right to brag!!
Posted by: crystal at August 11, 2005 08:57 AMshe is positively gorgeous! brag away!
Posted by: monique at August 11, 2005 09:41 AMOooh, I LOVE the closeup of your hand with the IV and her hand on yours. Awesome shot. Worth framing.
Posted by: ccap at August 11, 2005 09:49 AMWOW! FOUR hours? I'm still pretending our baby will immediately sleep from 7 PM to 7 AM. Every night :))
Great pics!
Posted by: Sweety at August 11, 2005 09:56 AMI cant say it enough she is absolutely beautiful. Just like her mother.
Posted by: Angelia at August 11, 2005 10:04 AMDid you ever think you'd spend this much time thinking about someone else's sleep habits?
Before becoming a parent, I thought there were 24 hours in a day, each of which could be devoted to a different purpose if I so chose. Now, my day is divided into Times When She's Sleeping, and Times When She's Not, and my activities are completely dictated by one of those two states.
Posted by: Julie at August 11, 2005 10:23 AMJealous. Oh so jealous. Mia will be talking by the time my baby decides to come out.
She's beautiful by the way.
Posted by: Kelly at August 11, 2005 11:35 AMOkay, the baby is gorgeous, but I feel compelled to say- the cats! where are the cats?
Beth, seriously, I'm just trying to make them feel important, too. ;) To let them know they are loved by the Internet as well!
Posted by: samantha at August 11, 2005 11:47 AMIdon't know if she's the most beautiful child ever, but she's the cutest one I've seen so far :)
By the way, what's the brand of that stroller, it looks incredibly cozy!
I love newborn baby pictures. She is too cute!
Posted by: Irene at August 11, 2005 12:05 PMI treasure the memories of being up in the middle of the night with my wakeful babies. She is a stunning little baby, Beth, she is!
Sounds like you are taking to motherhood like a duck to water!
Posted by: jen at August 11, 2005 12:10 PMBrag? you? no way! lol
She's way too cute...brag away!
since you are up at 4 a.m. perhaps you could take Mia out to see her first ever meteor shower... the persiods (sp?) are supposed to occur around that very time
Posted by: Stephanie at August 11, 2005 12:30 PMYeah, you definitely have bragging rights. She is beautiful! I am going to force my husband to sit down and look at her pictures if he shows so much as a hint of disappointment if our bean happens to be a girl (which it does). :) Congrats on the 3 hours!!
Posted by: Jaime at August 11, 2005 12:37 PMYou MUST get the miracle blanket - www.miracleblanket.com . No, i do not work for them, but I SWEAR TO GOD they are like a baby Ambien.
Mia is sooo sweet.. LOVE her!!

Posted by: Adi at August 11, 2005 02:02 PMShe looks mighty clever, indeed.

Posted by: Jessica at August 11, 2005 02:26 PMYou are a brand-new mother with a brand-new baby....you're supposed to brag!!
Posted by: lucy at August 11, 2005 02:28 PMI don't think it's called bragging-- it's more 'stating the obvious' really.
Posted by: bmh at August 11, 2005 02:48 PMjust give me a few more days...i can be your 4 am friend...cuz i'm sure i'll be up too!
Posted by: ali at August 11, 2005 04:41 PMshe is sooooo cute, i love, love , love that hair!!!! what a sweety :)
Posted by: lizabetty at August 11, 2005 06:31 PMI LOVE to brag, because Gabby really is the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. See? Bragging. Oh, wait, you were being sarcastic about hating to brag, right?
Baby girls are the awesome.
Posted by: Y at August 11, 2005 07:20 PMThose cheeks!
Posted by: Milly at August 11, 2005 08:59 PMMia's gorgeous! Congratulations again!
Posted by: Lujza at August 12, 2005 01:59 AMO Beth, you rock so much as yourself, and you rock a million times more as a Mum. Lordy, Mia is gorgeous! I knew you & Cactus were bound to have a beautiful baby (look at the kissi-ness of *you* two!), but you out-did yourself. Sigh. I just do the 'the universe is good' sigh everytime I come by. You guys are doing such a great a job.
emma (who had a intersect email address before).
So beautiful. I love the hats! :) And brag all you want to - you earned the right!
Posted by: Stephanie at August 12, 2005 08:06 AMShe's just beautiful, Beth.
