Introducing Alyssa Cotton Toborg

After 16 long hours of labor, Alyssa graced us with her presence Thursday, February 27th at 1:56 AM. She entered the world weighing 7 lbs 11 oz (Mommy & daddy's anniversary--July 11th) and measuring 18 1/2 inches long. Travis, my mom and sister were in the room to help. Labor was long, but I am thankful for no complications with myself or Alyssa. Here are a few shots from the hospital.

 Our first few nights home were full of tears, crying, pacing, and bouncing while trying to sooth our sweet girl to sleep. The first few weeks were crazy with lots and lots of visitors. Grandma Jani and Grandpa Tim came down from Minnesota to visit for a few weeks and then Aunt Sara & Uncle Dale came down the next week. Alyssa also got to meet her only set of great grandparents from Minnesota, Grandpa Bob & Grandma Rosemary. She hasn't been here long, but is already loved by so many. She is one blessed little girl!




Fast forward, Alyssa is now one month old! She weighs 9lbs 5 oz and is growing everyday! She is a pretty good sleeper allowing mommy and daddy to get some rest at night. She loves music, to snuggle, be outside, and ride in a car. She also loves to snuggle up in daddy's beard to fall asleep.


Until next time....
