After everything that we went through in the last few weeks, our sweet baby girl is finally here! Please meet Zoey Ava, born on 8/6/12 at 38 weeks and 2 days, weighing 8 pounds 12 ounces and measuring 20 and a half inches! I was induced on Sunday afternoon after going into early labor that morning... After 17 hours of labor and just an hour of pushing, she was here!! She had some trouble breathing at first and needed a bit of oxygen... She also has pretty bad jaundice due to the Cholestasis, and had to be given phototherapy treatment in an isolette... She is home now, breast feeding like a champ and being such a good, easy baby (SO FAR!). We love her so much already and are so glad to be home cuddling with our baby girl!!

ReplyDeleteIsn't birth just the most amazing thing? Its surreal to finally hold your child after months of wondering what they look like. Congrats on your little family.
ReplyDeleteTotally amazing! Every day, I just stare at her and wonder how in the world we made something so perfect. It's mind blowing.
DeleteI was a follower of your nail blog, and I am so pleased your beautiful daughter arrived safe and well. You managed to look great even after 17 hours of labour!,
ReplyDeleteThanks Alison!
