The Princess and Her Court

Maelyn,

You were born wide eyed and bushy tailed. When you came out they suctioned your mouth and your nose but you never made a sound. I, of course, was talking to you the second you came out. I was rubbing your foot and your daddy had your hand. You stole your daddy’s heart immediately. When the doctor asked your daddy if he wanted to cut your umbilical cord he of course said yes and was handed the scissors. As soon as he went to cut it you grabbed on to his pinky finger and your mommy lost it. I had been so consumed with being aware of everything that was going on that I hadn’t stopped to think “this is my child, this is my little girl”. The doctor held you up and said “You want to meet your parents?” and turned you around to face us. You balled those little fists up and let out a huge scream like “oh no, not them!!” It was the cutest thing EVER!! They took you over to the warmer and started checking you out. Daddy went with you. You weighed in at 7lbs even which was a shock to us. As big as I was we just knew you were going to weigh 10lbs but you didn’t. You were 20 inches long, looked just like me and had your daddy’s feet. You were absolutely perfect.

Mommy




If you recall in some of my last posts I got nothing to eat or drink during my "labor" period. As soon as Maelyn was out my awesome nurse brought me a cup of coke!! That was the second best moment of my life!! haha Mom and Bethany went to McDonalds and got me 2 large french fries.. that was the third best moment of my life!! :) 

While in labor and delivery and then in post partum we had a lot of visitors. I didn't get pictures of everyone but I will share a few.

We were blessed with a good baby from day one. She was passed around from person to person and never made a sound. Is she loved?? I think so!
