Our princess is here!!!!!

Our beautiful miracle baby girl has arrived!  She was born October 13th at 2:44 in the afternoon.  She is wonderfully perfect in every way and we could not be more in love with her.  It is impossible to stop staring at her.  There is so much that I want to blog about...birth story, breastfeeding, my emotions (WHOA!), my unbelievable husband, and more!  But, we just got home from the hospital and we are going to hibernate for a day or two.  I am so happy to be spending this time with my little family.  


Here are a few bullet points to give you an idea and so I will remember to blog about these things!
  • vaginal delivery
  • epidural (but complicated)
  • doctors and nurses during delivery (couldn't have asked for anything better)
  • breastfeeding is going great (my girl is a champ!)
  • visitors
  • pain and pain relief after delivery (yes, I have a tear...3rd degree with extension?  I didn't even ask what exactly that means because I don't want to know)
  • emotions in the beginning (out of body experience)
  • emotions 24 hours after (I cry more than Blakely)
  • my husband is awesome, which I knew, but this is on a whole new level
  • coming home
And here is the part that you all want to see!  

Blakely Ann 
8 pounds 7 ounces
20 inches long










I love you all and thank you so much for the well wishes on my post Wednesday.  My dreams have come true...I love her so much.  More updates with details in the coming days.  Oh and I am very close to my 100th post!  It will for sure be a special one :)

  7. She is GORGEOUS Kelly! Maybe I'm wrong here but I think she has your chin and maybe your husbands eyes?! Mixture of the both of you. She really is precious! Just try to rest but also keep in mind that they sleep the best right now...not so much later on. ;)
