Oh my Goodness! Our "little" girl arrived at 8:02 am on Monday morning....weighing in at a hefty........drum roll please.......10 lbs 6.4 oz!!!!! YIKES! I am glad that I went for the c-section. All is well, and we are home. Because she was so large, she required a little more monitoring in the intermediate nursery so I was only able to see her at certain hours and she couldn't come to the room with us. I was way sad about that. It is hard enough with your crazy emotions to have a child let alone not get to see her. My heart goes out to all the moms with babies in the NICU. It is brutal, and mine was only in there for 2 days and nights. She is big and beautiful and eating like a monster....every four hours and then sleeps soundly. I wasn't able to nurse her so I have been pumping, but the neonatalogist said..."Good luck nursing her, that will be like taming a bucking bronco. She doesn't act very lady like when she is mad." Well, at least she comes by it honestly.
Walker is confused, but is adoring his new little sister. I missed him terribly, and now that we are home, he is petting her and kissing her like crazy. I was too emotional to take pics of their first meeting, but my dad took a ton. Once I get them, I will post!

OH MY GOSH! I can not believe that child was that big! No wonder you needed her out!
Congratulations Kate!! She is beautiful. I had a feeling she was going to be big, but not that big! Hope everything is going well. Enjoy your "little" baby.
I cried when I read that. Congrats!
