Our Baby Surprise!

Well, if you were looking for a new 'Watch SB Get Fat' Picture, you're not going to find it! I was supposed to have Joe take one on Thursday night for my 35 week picture, but instead, I found myself in the hospital giving birth to our precious baby girl Thursday morning. 5 weeks early! What a surprise! She is doing well, but is in the NICU until she can begin to eat better on her own. She weighed in at 6 lbs 6oz and 19 1/2 inches long. It was an exciting and fast birth story with lots of details...too many to blog about, but if you want to know them, just ask and I will tell you the story! We are excited about our newest addition! I'm sure we'll have much more to post once we get home. I'm technically discharged from the hospital, but they are allowing me board here for an extra day or two without nursing care. They still feed me and supply me linens and things I need for postpartum care and I get to stay close to the baby. Our house is about 17 miles away from the hospital, so I'd like to stay here as long as they'll let me or until we can bring her home. We'll do our best to keep everyone posted!
