Today was another one of the happiest days of our lives - our sweet baby Juliana joined our family this morning at 7:32 a.m.! We are both so proud and happy! Pawpaw and Nana and MaMa Betty were here to welcome her and to celebrate with us! Nana will be here for the remainder of the month to help us adjust to life with two children and to help ease the transition for Anna Claire - we are very grateful.
I had to be at the hospital at 5:15 this morning, which was rough, but I have been so tired of having to get up four times a night to go to the bathroom, having no energy, and just generally feeling like dirt that I was wayyy ready! I did have a minor meltdown once they got through prepping me for surgery and all - just nerves about the procedure and the heightened emotions and all. Andy was so sweet, so loving. He's really the very best of men.
Juliana's birth was super-smooth, no problems whatsoever during delivery. She didn't scream like Anna Claire did though, that's for sure! Wonder if that will be a first sign of differences in personality? :) haha! She's beautiful - lighter hair that Anna Claire and much smaller - 7 lbs and 19 1/4 inches long. But very healthy - 9 out of 10 on the apgar scale, which was fabulous. Passed her hearing tests without a blip and nursed well right off the bat.
Anna Claire hasn't shown the first bit of interest. Doesn't surprise me with so many visitors around to entertain her!
We are a very happy family!
