Announcing the arrival of our lovely Little Miss:
LEILA
August 9th
7:44AM
7lbs 13oz.
21 1/2" long
Baby's birthday went off without a hitch. My whole family was here, so we were totally surrounded with love and prayers. The c-section went well - and it was so fast - about 30 minutes total (thank God). After delivery, Leila's breathing was a bit labored at first because of the type of delivery, c-section babies have a tendency to swallow amniotic fluid and have to work harder to clear their lungs. This just meant a short time in the nursery where she could be monitored. She recovered very quickly after lots of long loud cries (she wanted to be with her mommy!). She was brought to my recovery room where our visitors were able to come in two at a time. We all got to watch the nurse giver her the first bath after which she was handed to me for loving hugs and breastfeeding. The staff of Enloe Hospital did a fabulous job - the nurses are top-notch and really went the extra mile to make us comfortable.
