Her birth was scheduled and she came via C-section. To tell the truth, it was a little anticlimatic. We went to the "hostible", as Soph calls it, and checked in. Anneka got an IV and that was the worst part of the day it seemed. Everything felt a bit devoid of the emotion and unexpectedness of Sophie's arrival. Even I, who normally cries at the simplest things, was shocked at my first words when I held her. I said, "Wow, she's heavy!"
Go figure.
Needless to say, we are thrilled at the blessing it is to have her here. We're amazed at the confidence a loving Father in Heaven has for us to entrust this little soul to our care. I'm sure we'll post many, many more pictures of her shortly.
And we'll need to get her a passport. Welcome aboard little Miss Lily
Chris, Anneka and Sophie
Sophie was initially a bit unnerved by the new sibling
She eventually warmed up to her

Lily's first bath. Interestingly done by the exact same CNA that gave Sophie her first bath...
She hardly made a peep during it. OK, she did scream twice, but by and large she was absolutely unimpressed with the experience. I was glad to get that crazy white pastey stuff off her...
Good night, sweet dreams baby Lily

Welcome Lily! Just beautiful and can't wait to meet her. Guess you'll need to rename your blog. :)
