7 pounds, 10 ounces and 19.5 inches of sunshine!Thanks to everyone for being so patient! Little Lily will be two weeks old tomorrow - though it seems like we've been at this forever! Lily began her attempt to enter the world on February 23. Contractions were coming on strong and regular, but for whatever reason things were not moving along as nicely as we (I) would have hoped! The hospital told us to wait and sent us home. The next night around 9pm Jason and I decided we would try again - after a day of constant contractions there was no way we hadn't progressed! Well - apparently we hadn't. We were sent home again. Seven hours later, in the wee small hours of the morning, Lily made sure there would be no question as to the legitimacy of mommy's labor - my water broke! With a bit of a triumphant smile, Jason and I made our way back to the hospital and were quickly admitted - then the fun began! After sixteen hours of labor and one miserable failure at an epidural (which stopped working about 12 hours in) Lily made her way into our lives and our arms.
Today Lily is still mixing up her days and nights - just as she did when she was on the inside - my little party girl. Her bright eyes aren't usually open for very long between naps, but when they are it is truly amazing. She seems to study everything around her not just look at it. You can almost see the wheels turning in her little head trying to take everything in. And even though both mommy and daddy are slowly entering zombie mode, we can't bring ourselves to take our eyes off her even when she sleeps (a.k.a when we're supposed to sleep). We're working on it! For now though, we're just so happy that she is finally here with us and we're so excited to watch our little Lily bloom!
aww party girl, thats so cute!
