Welcome to the World, Erin Olivia!

As most of my readers know, Erin was born on January 14, 2009. She came into our lives at 2:31 pm weighing 8 lbs and 9 oz, measuring 20 1/2 inches long. We had a great experience and were able to not only have me watching via mirror but also our family watching out of the Operating Room windows. Very cool! Very Discovery Channel!
She is our little princess. We have had a few feeding issues, so she has lost some weight (as expected) but otherwise is doing beautifully! I am having some blood issues but the numbers are getting a bit better so my scheduled day out of the hospital (tomorrow) should hopefully happen. I am missing my little boy at home! Here are some pictures from the birth. Enjoy!!!

Congratulations! You look amazing in the picture of you both, not at all like you just had a baby! I didn't know it was possible for relatives to be able to watch the surgery, wow that had to be interesting!
