She is here!!!!

Scarlett Ann arrived right on time Wednesday morning at 8:02 am! She came out crying and both DR's and the nurse were already commenting on how adorable she was before she even handed her to the nurse! And I must say she is an absolute doll!!! She weighed in at 6 lbs 4 oz and was exactly 18 inches long. She has lost a little weight which is normal since we have been in the hospital and weighs 5.13 now. She has been such a good baby so far!!! She is nursing like a champ and is sleeping a couple solid hours in between nursing in her isolate in our room at night. Recovery was a little rough for me the day she was born but I am physically much more capable this time around and day two and now three have been much better. Devin and I are just so in love with this little girl we are so happy she is a part of our family! She definitely looks like a Bendall baby! She has a head full dark hair and looks like a mini me! Where as the boys are without question mini Devin's!

Following my C-section we were informed that my uterus wall is extremely thin and could pose some potentially life threatening risks if I were to have another baby. We were told we could potentially have another but there would be a many things to consider. Obviously this has been something interesting to think about as we enjoy this brand new baby girl and haven't even left the hospital yet, but will definitely be something we really will have to consider and pray about later on and decided are we really done having kids at 22?? I guess time will only tell. and there definitely other avenues to consider. Right now we are just so content with our little family of five I can't imagine being any happier!
