She's Here!!!












So my blog is being funny, instead of having my pictures show up it is just showing a bunch of funky words and codes. So I can't explain each picture. It's pretty self explanatory though. However, I will make these comments....
notice my tummy in the first photo, that was taken the day I delivered. I can't believe I had a 7.8 oz baby come out of that tummy!!
Then there is a picture of me holding Lydia and my lip is CRAZY swollen. We were laughing pretty hard. This happened with Emma too. About 12 hours after delivery I had a reaction to something, who knows what, but it lasts for a few hours and then goes away.
The cupcake display was done by my friend Carrie who also decorated our front yard as a welcome home. I must say that my friends really came through for me and I am so touched by the efforts. A special thanks to Carrie, Holly, Natalie, Staci and my aunt Lee. Oh and of course my mom for taking Emma for 3 nights so we could enjoy the sweetness of a newborn.

Well, sorry this post is long over due. I haven't enjoyed sitting lately and have just avoided the computer all together. By now I'm on my way to recovery. Emma is transitioning well and is very helpful. Lydia is just as sweet and snuggly as can be. Ryan holds her when he gets a chance, but mostly I'm a total baby hog. Thanks to everyone for their phone calls and text messages. We're all so happy she's here and my little fmaily just feels so complete...for now :)

I was going to ask what was up with the Angelina lips. Funny. She is adorable. Newborns are the best. Sometimes I get sad that I'll never have another.

Annie said...

Finally! I've been checking everyday:) So cute and sweet. I'm so glad she's here.

Congrats! Lydia is adorable. I hope you are recovering quickly and the transition from one to two is going smoothly. I think adding another kid to the mix (as wonderful as it is) it's always hard those first few months. Can't wait to see more pics!

So cute...So cute. Maybe I need to come to Ogden and snug with her since my Grands are all in South Dakota and California. About the lips...before I read your notes, I was going to ask you who your Dermatoligist was so I could come down and have him plump these poor old lip up. Good going on the new itty, bitty.

first your tummy is so cute in the first picture, I don't know why you didn't post more of that. And then oh my heck Lydia is so precious! She just looks so sweet and cuddly and squishy. It makes me sad to look at because I realize that Eliza is sooo not there anymore. I love love her hair, hers isn't as dark as Emma's was or have as much but Emma had more than any baby I have ever seen in my life. Lydia still has loads compared to a ton of babies. Wow Linny you guys sure make them special I can't wait to meet her
