A very healthy, happy baby girl!
Labor was a wonderful experience. Scott, mom and my Doula, Kirstin were a HUGE help. I was able to give birth with no medications. Birth is so beautiful.
Meeting each other. No other words can explain this incredible part.
Daddy (AKA burping master) can get her to burp in 2 seconds flat. Mom is still mastering the skill and often can't get her to burp!
Yes, she won't be winning any small feet competitions. Scott and I passed on our tall genes! Her feet do not fit any of her baby socks.
The new mommy had some complications after labor. Gave everyone a good scare. She blacked out for a few minutes and the doctors spent the next few days figuring out why. They found that her red blood count was very low and needed a blood transfusion. So Scott and Grandma Dee Dee made do with the cozy sleeping arrangements until the new mommy was better and discharged to go home (five days after birth).
Dressed and ready to go home! Hip, hip, HOORAY! Hip, hip, HOORAY!
Official counter: 7, 455, 692 kisses and still counting.
Oh, pretty girl! She does not like cold things. Thank heaven for wipe warmers.
We just took our first walk today.
