The Newborn Baby

Faith Nora

Hi Nora! How are you doing today?

Hi Faith! I am very tired but very happy.

Faith Nora

I can imagine. How is your new baby?

She is perfect. She sleeps a lot and eats well.

Faith Nora

That is wonderful news. What is her name?

Her name is Lily. It was my grandmother's name.

Faith Nora

Lily is a beautiful name. How much does she weigh?

She is very small. She weighs seven pounds.

Faith Nora

Seven pounds is a healthy size. Does she cry often?

Only when she is hungry. She is a calm baby.

Faith Nora

You are very lucky. Can I see a photo of her?

Of course! Look at this picture on my phone.

Faith Nora

Oh, she is so cute! She has tiny fingers.

Yes, and she has her father's blue eyes.

Faith Nora

She looks like an angel. Is your family helping you?

My mother is staying with us for two weeks.

Faith Nora

That is a big help. Do you need anything from the store?

You are so kind. We need some diapers, please.

Faith Nora

No problem. What size diaper should I buy?

Size one is perfect for her right now.

Faith Nora

I will go to the store this afternoon. When can I visit you?

You can come tomorrow morning. The baby wakes up early.

Faith Nora

I will bring you some homemade soup. It is good for you.

Thank you, Faith. You are a very good friend.

Faith Nora

I am happy to help. Does Lily sleep in her own room?

No, she sleeps in a small crib next to my bed.

Faith Nora

That sounds very cozy. I can't wait to meet her tomorrow.

We will be very happy to see you. Get some rest tonight.
