Yes, we finally got our baby here and what a nice suprise that it is a girl! She arrived on May 8
(5 days after her due date). She weighed 8lbs. 15oz. and was 21 in. long, she now weighs 9lb.s 3 oz., so she is growing just fine. Jeremy called both our parents to tell them but he told them it was a boy for a big tease and because I wanted to see Mckenna's reaction when she found out she had a sister! Needless to say when Mckenna and Carson were told it was a boy they were very upset. So it was alot of fun to see everyones reaction when they got to the hospital and saw that our boy had bows in her hair!
I was really nervous about the whole delivery for about a month, so for all my worries everything went really well and I would say that it was my best experience of all my kids. No medications!! I can't have epidurals or spinal anything so I usually just have medicine in my IV, but this time was different. I had help from a friend, who is an anathesiologist, who had just learned about hypnobirthing. Which is hypnosis and relaxing techniques to help with the pain. It really worked as far as keeping me focused, relaxed, and keeping the pain level where I could deal with it. The midwife thing was also very good despite all my worries there. We are greatful to our Heavenly Father who is in charge and know better than we what is best. I have learned that despite our fears and worries we need to rely and trust in him more that if we are faithful and do what is right he won't give us anything we can't handle and even better he gives us the blessings of our heart. I have prayed and prayed for him to help me with this new adventure of a new baby in our home and that I would be able to handle everything. Thus far he has sent me a very good baby who sleeps 4-5 hours in the night, and hardly makes a peep during the day. She is just so pleasant! I know that she is only 12 days old and things could change, but for now she is doing so good and I am healing faster than I have with any of my other babies. I am indeed greatful for my blessings!
Mckenna is so excited to finally have a sister!
2 hours after her birth with her whole family!
I think she might get her ability to make faces from Suzanne or Kade!
Carson loves holding his baby sister, and she doesn't seem to mind him either!
