Macy Bea Young
First of all I wanted to thank my sister Toni for posting for me yesterday! She snapped some awesome photos and I begged her to post them on my blog. Now for all of you that wanted the details and more (many many more) pictures, buckle your seat belts because here we go!
I was induced around 8:00am on Tuesday and labor went really well. We actually had the same nurse as my labor with Claire and she was wonderful! I got my epidural and after pushing through three contractions she was born! She was born at 1:04 pm at 8lbs 2 oz. It was lucky she was born so quickly because she had the cord wrapped tightly around her neck. So when I saw her she was super pale and she wasn't crying. I was a little nervous but she finally cried, but even after oxygen she was grunting and showing other signs of distress. She had bruising on her ear, arm, and face so the NICU nurse thought she would have to take her to transition...immediately my mind raced back to our experience with Claire, but the nurse decided to let me snuggle her for a minute before they had to take her. After just a couple minutes of mommy loves her color had improved and she stopped grunting and breathing easily. It was seriously amazing to know that she knew me and perked right up in my arms. They were shocked, but so glad that they could leave her with us.
She has been doing wonderful ever since! Her color is perfect and you can't even tell she is bruised. She is so sweet and guess what?! SHE EATS!!! Fifteen minutes after they gave her to me she took a bottle and guzzled down an ounce and a half. Oh man, what a relief...seriously. Here are some of my favorite pictures so far...and yes, there are a lot!
Claire is already a HUGE fan!

We had a little celebration to welcome Macy to the family. Claire loved it...well, mostly the frosting! Here is her cake.

Tongue check. Yep, she has one.

And then she was done...I think she was ready to go home!

I am so glad that all went well with your delivery... THREE pushes?? way to go and what a blessing that she arrived quickly! babies are miracles and every time I think about ALL the details and little things that have to work and develop and then go just right for nine months...it is so amazing and a real testament that they come straight from Heaven!! She is a little angel and I am dreaming about squeezing her a lot! That feather hair is my favorite, not to mention rose petal skin, oh and that warm little body... give her some extra loves from me. I can't wait to meet her! BTW darling pictures Katie, a perfect little family!! It seems impossible but it only gets better from here :)xoxo
I have tears in my eyes... you really captured the miracle and preciousness of bringing a new baby into your family. I'm so happy for you. I can't wait to chat, so I'll have to talk to you soon. Love you!
I'm so happy everything went well! I'm happy she eats and takes a binki! Wahoo. I love those cheeks.
I am so glad that she didn't have to go to the NICU. That cord thing freaks me out! I am so glad everything turned out fine!
