She's finally here! She made her appearance yesterday at 9:17 a.m. via my wonderful scheduled c-section!! The stats:
7 lbs. 3 oz.
18 in. long
and lots of dark brown hair!!
The day started off with next to no sleep. How are you supposed to sleep knowing you are about to have a baby the next morning? We arrived at the hospital around 7:30 and were taken in to get all prepped. By 8:30 my sis showed up, 8:50 I was taking a walk to the freezing O.R. room, and by 9:17 a.m. she was here.
It was a great process, much easier then the 20 hours of labor and then c-section with Ethan. We were back in my recovery room by about 9:50. She immediately was trying to suck anything in sight...her blanket, Kurt, and her hands. She downed some formula instantly and has been a porker since!
After about 45 minutes in recovery we were moved to my post maternity room, where we've just been chillin. They gave her a bath in my room which was awesome because I got to see everything! She's been an angel since. We love her so much! Ethan has been a great big brother so far. When we first got out of the operating room Kurt called him and he wanted to talk to his baby sister. It took some convincing that she didn't talk and that he just needed to come see her. Since then she's been mauled with lots of hugs and kisses from him! We are so excited that she is finally here and part of our family!!
