Surprise!

Here we are on Christmas and right afterwards, after having a wonderful holiday with my whole family here. My mom decided to stay 2 extra days because I was having such a hard time- so uncomfortable and just to help out more with Halle. And it was a good thing, because after a whole night of contractions...




We went to the hospital and 2 hours later, Lily arrived! We had a c-section 3 weeks prior to my due date. It was wonderful and perfect and couldn't have gone any better! Lily Faye was born at 9:58 am, weighing in at 7 lbs, 5 oz. 20 inches long, 13 3/4 inch head.







She's wonderful and perfect and eating so well!






She's loved sooo much! Halle just adores her and loves holding her, and kissing her and snuggling with her. She's not been to sure about mom in the hospital hooked up to all sorts of things, but she's enjoyed extra attention from grandparents and visitors. I am recovering pretty well and will go home tomorrow! We're so thankful that Lily arrived safe and healthy and that the timing worked out perfect with my Mom visiting. I am so relieved to not be pregnant anymore and am figuring out life with 2 girls. So Happy New Year and we are excited for life to begin with our family of 4!












Here's Halle's first glimpse of her sister, Lily...
