She's Here!!!


"Little Munchkin" (as she will be referred to on my blog) arrived in this world on Friday, November 13th at 8:09 am by cesarean section. She has a full head of black hair just as I did when I was born. She weighed 7 pounds and 14 ounces at birth and is 19 1/2 inches long. We are very excited and exhausted and Little Buddy loves her so much, it has even brought us to tears a few times. I will be working on our official birth announcement just as soon as I catch my breath as we just got home today. The oddest part of the whole birth was that they had a hard time getting her out as she was transverse (sideways: head under one of my breasts and butt under the other) and had one foot up to her forehead and one foot straight down in front of her pressing on my cervix? Glad I was scheduled for that day as the night before I was extremely uncomfortable with cramping and contractions. Happy Birthday Little Munchkin!!!

I KNEW you were going to have a girl! Just one of those intuitions, you know?!

Talk about a crazy position she was in, but she looks absolutely precious and it'll be so fun to have a little girl to dress up.

It's SO fun having a boy and a girl together because you can always have fun with both boyish and girly tendencies. YAY!!!!
