She's here!!!

The day finally came, we had our baby girl!!! We had her on Oct. 27th at 4:29 p.m. She weighed 8.1 lbs. and was 20 inches long- which is funny cuz that's exactly what Jeter weighed and measured. We are so excited to have her here and in our family. She's a really good baby so far. She mainly just sleeps and we have to force her to wake up and eat. I am loving having a girl and getting her dressed each day. I feel like i need to take a picture of her in every outfit and every pair of pajamas cuz she looks so cute in all this girl stuff. I'm doomed!

Oh and the whole labor, delivery, and aftermath all went pretty good except for the fact that I felt EVERYTHING!!! It hurt like crap and i wanted to cry but she came fast so that part was good. I only had to push for like 15 minutes with her, compared to 3 hours with Jeter. I am feeling way better than i did after i had Jeter too. I can stand up, sit down, and walk around without feeling like i want to die.


Here's the proud Daddy, already snuggling with his baby girl. He's also doomed. HAHA



Here we are getting ready to go home from the hospital. We felt really bad cuz Jete couldn't come up there at all. They wouldn't allow any visitors under the age of 18 in the hospital because of the flu and H1N1 viruses going around, so Jete never got to see her until we got home. Luckily my mom was able to come out and help us. Thanks again Mom!




Jeter was excited to finally see her when we brought her in the door. It only lasted about 5 or 10 minutes, then he pretty much ignored her for the rest of the day. Now he's always wanting to hold her, feed her, and touch her. He hasn't figured out what "Soft" means yet. He is pretty cute with her though. He comes up to her and says "So cute, baby Jerzi." And he's always kissing her fingers and toes. He loves how little they are. He kisses them and says, "cute little fingers, cute little toes." He wants to be around her a lot. I can tell this is gonna be dangerous. After like 2 days of being home, I took my eye off him for like one minute, and then caught him jumping in her bed while she was in there! As soon as i saw him, he smiled and said, "Jumpin with baby Jerzi." Yikes!

  2. Yay Cin! Oh man, she's cute! I'm glad you are feeling good and stuff. Good luck with the whole "big brother" thing. Mac still doesn't know how to be soft and I fear for Carter's life most days. :) Let me know if you learn any tricks!

  11. She is beautiful! I can't believe her hair...it is awesome! I wonder if it will stay that color cuz didn't Jete have black hair when he was born? It will be fun to see if it stays black or goes blond. Congratulations! Can't wait to hold her.

  23. Cin she is so cute. I have been waiting and waiting for this post. THen I didn' get on my computer for like 2 days cuz I got so busy packing and getting things ready to come home. I LOVE all her headbands. I regret that I didn't have Saylor wear them more. SHe is so cute and I LOVE her hair. Blond is so cute, but dang I love all that hair. I have to say, babies with lots of dark hair are the cutest things ever. I can't wait to see her and hold her. Had you are doomed, I think all dads are when they get that little girl. Saylor asks Zach for most things cuz she knows he will give it to her :) Those stories of Jete are so cute and how about him jumping in the bed with her, scary ha ha. Keep the pics comin, I love to see them, and I love to see all the outfits too, so feel free to just send me one on our phones if you need too, cuz its so fun and you want to share it with everyone, so bring it on! Okay, I'l be done now with my novel!
