She came to us right as scheduled on December 2nd at 8:34am. She weighed in at 6lbs 8oz and a stretched 19 inches. It was fairly routine as far as deliveries go. We arrived at the hospital about 545am, were taken into triage within minutes and wheeled to the OR promptly at 8am, just as scheduled. L was a little shocked by the casual conversation at the operating table regarding secret mashed potatoes ingredients and the memories associated with the Queen song on the radio as they sliced me open but it went just as I expected. She handled delivery well and let us know she was here with an innocent cry of irritation. We are both doing really well, we even got to leave the hospital a day early. She is beautiful and so tiny. You definitely forget how very tiny and delicate they are in the first few weeks. She is a great sleeper, dead as a door nail. She is mellow and, I know I am partial, but super cute!
Gwen adjusted really well to the new addition. Here is one of their first meeting. Gwen is possessive if anything. She wants to hold her and help do everything. Its sweet! She loves her baby sis.
