She's here!

Hey everyone! I'm writing in for Mommy, as she's at the hospital for the next couple of days, but I know people are chomping at the bit to see her. So without further ado...




Here she is! She was born at 7:39 am, weighing in at 6 lbs, 15 ounces and is 20 inches long. She's a very mellow, content baby (as of today) and just a pretty little angel. She looks a lot like her big sister (who adores her) and already we have fallen completely in love with her.

While the delivery was successful, Mommy did lose quite a bit of blood (2 1/2 liters) and so she has been watched very carefully. However, she's since done exceptionally well, and her blood counts have been very high. This doesn't rule out the possibility that she may need a blood transfusion, but with each test, that possibility lessens, and as of tonight's discussion with Mommy's OB/GYN (who did a fabulous job today), she doesn't think the transfusion will be necessary. We're looking at a going home date of Monday at this point.

Thanks for keeping all of us in your prayers, and we definitely hope to see and/or hear from you soon! It's been a very long day for us, and I'm very tired, so I'm going to wrap it up for now. Here's some more pics to tide you over:
