Our First Week As Parents!
03.22.14 | Share: Share on Twitter Share on Facebook
In case you missed the hullabaloo on instagram and facebook, our new roommate has arrived! Theodora “Teddy” Mae Rosen came into the world as 8 lbs, 8 oz of pure awesome. We finally understand what all the fuss is about, we are beyond in love with this little one!
So, for the first week update… Even though I’m having a hard time physically with the sloooow healing and yes we are sleep deprived, honestly it’s been the best week of our lives. We’ve just cozied up with this little love nugget and are alternating staring at her and cuddling her and feeding her and changing her. Andy has been incredible about taking care of all the house stuff/cooking/Ruby out so I can focus on feeding this creature and healing my bod. We’ve got a good thing going, this little family of ours… it helps that she is spectacular!
This week has felt like an eternity and also it went by in a flash. We’re already sad about the inevitable passage of time and the fact that we can’t just freeze her as she is a huge bummer, but we’re also dying to see what comes next from Teddy. Facial expressions? A thesis on global energy? The sky’s the limit. She’s already sweet, adorable, hilarious, inquisitive and gorgeous. BTW, Did you see her cheeks? AHHHH!!
We’ll be giving the full scoop on Monday’s Totally Married - the labor, the delivery, the feelings, how Ruby and Ramona are taking things, all of it. Can’t wait to share with you all, thank you SO much for all the love you’ve sent our way, we have felt it big time!

Cute kid, looking forward to the birth story!
CHEEKS CHEEKS CHEEKS for days! What a blessing she is and couldn’t ask for more lovely family. Congrats to you all.
It’s not for everyone, but wearing a sleep mask to bed helped me fall into a deeper sleep more quickly. It’s a subtle thing, particularly when you can only take micro sleeps, but it made the bedtime more refreshing for me. Congratulations, and best wishes.
Congrats!!! 8lbs….WOAH! You go girl! Can’t wait to hear the update from you guys! Also can’t wait for more pictures of those cheeks!! Love me some chubby baby cheeks!
Congratulations!!! So happy for your family and looking forward to hearing how it all went down

She is absolutely adorable! Congratulations to you guys and Welcome to the joys and ups and downs and arounds of parenting!
Welcome to the world Teddy!
Wish we lived closer so I could hold Teddy. She is beautiful!!
Ah, I’m so happy for you! No joke, I was on the phone with my mother the other day and almost said ‘oh did I tell you Elizabeth had the baby?’ It’s a little strange what a connection I feel as a listener to you and your experience, but also so sweet that I get to share in your joy. Wishing you the best!
I’ve been doing the same telling everyone who has no idea who Elizabeth is or have even heard a podcast!!
Congratulations! She is such a beauty! So glad the first week has been wonderful. Can’t wait to hear all about it. You two are amazing parents and Teddy is so lucky to have you.

Congratulations, a little late! She is lovely!
After the newborn haze wears off you should check out Silver Lake MOMS club. They saved my life when my daughter (now 5) was a baby. Great ladies, great company!
Congrats again, Kim
