8 pounds, 21 inches
Perfect c-section head.
She looks like her daddy in this picture but we are getting mixed reviews.
Tyler had to go home every night to take care of the dogs. He had a hard time sleeping knowing we were in the hospital and not home.
And lets just face it, its hard work being a mom.
Eleni came after two and a half days of contracting with hardly any progress. I only made it to one centimeter. My doctor thought her head might be too big for me or that I might be too little for her so she suggested we have a c-section. So on Tuesday, September 1, 2009 Tyler and I made our way to the hospital. After waiting in triage for about an hour and a half, we were on our way to the O.R. at 1:30. Eleni was born at 2:03 and both the doctors that were doing the surgery and the anesthesiologist were surprised by the size of her head. Her cord was wrapped around her neck twice so she needed a little extra oxygen and was a little pale but other than that we had a healthy baby. Because of her size the nurses needed to check her blood sugar before her first three feedings and she passed all three times. We were able to go home on Friday and it's been a roller coaster from there but all is getting easier day by day. Tyler and I are in love with our little girl and couldn't be happier.

She's absolutely perfect :) Congratulations!
What a pretty, sweet, perfect, darling, angelic little baby girl! Good thing I'm not biased and can be perfectly neutral in my assessment. So glad all is well. It's pretty hard work being a mom. You've got that right! (But it's pretty neat, too!!) You know what's even better though?!? Being a gramma!! Can hardly wait.
And just because she has been born that is no excuse for you not do to your Weekly Wednesday update! (Still looking for that picture of her by the quarter.....!)
