I'm here to share with you all each amazing day(may not be EVERY day), I spend with my wonderful daughter:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s50.photobucket.com/albums/f307/DrMcNinja/Blog%20Stuff/?action=view&amp;amp;current=DSCF0470.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f307/DrMcNinja/Blog%20Stuff/DSCF0470.jpg" alt="That's the name" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Arali was born on the fifth of April in the year two-thousand and nine, at quarter to six in the evening. She was a healthy seven pounds, four ounces and twenty inches long. Arali was given a little green hat, we cycled through a pink one which was too small, and a weird egg looking one which was too big before we found her perfect fit!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s50.photobucket.com/albums/f307/DrMcNinja/Blog%20Stuff/?action=view&amp;amp;current=DSCF0448.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f307/DrMcNinja/Blog%20Stuff/DSCF0448.jpg" alt="My green hat" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She spent her first few hours of life wearing hospital clothes, but we were soon able to put her in one of her many adorable outfits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s50.photobucket.com/albums/f307/DrMcNinja/Blog%20Stuff/?action=view&amp;amp;current=DSCF0461.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f307/DrMcNinja/Blog%20Stuff/DSCF0461.jpg" alt="My first outfit" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Among the many wonderful gifts we received for our little miracle, was a pink giraffe from my friend, Michelle. Despite her age, she seemed to favor this critter right from the start. I was truly an adorable thing to see.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s50.photobucket.com/albums/f307/DrMcNinja/Blog%20Stuff/?action=view&amp;amp;current=DSCF0474.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f307/DrMcNinja/Blog%20Stuff/DSCF0474.jpg" alt="My giraffe" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our little girl loves to eat!

Here's us saying "good-bye" to the hospital, and "hello" to our new and wondrous life as first time parents.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s50.photobucket.com/albums/f307/DrMcNinja/Blog%20Stuff/?action=view&amp;amp;current=DSCF0478.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f307/DrMcNinja/Blog%20Stuff/DSCF0478.jpg" alt="Going home" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4056040083404710688-1229921027279117449?l=mommynicki.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mommynicki.blogspot.com/feeds/1229921027279117449/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mommynicki.blogspot.com/2009/06/april-5th-2009-first-day-of-my-amazing.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4056040083404710688/posts/default/1229921027279117449'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4056040083404710688/posts/default/1229921027279117449'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mommynicki.blogspot.com/2009/06/april-5th-2009-first-day-of-my-amazing.html' title='April 5th, 2009 - The first day of my amazing new life.'/><author><name>MommyNicki</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09283568732124467975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_bH48UsQeocE/SWGQ6y_z8FI/AAAAAAAAAAM/MoiLynCd4dI/S220/100_0922.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f307/DrMcNinja/Blog%20Stuff/th_DSCF0470.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry></feed>
