Addition to the ceejay family!

March 30th, 2012 at 08:17 pm

Hello all! I'm sitting in a hospital again, just over two years from the last time. This time I'm not too out of it to hop online. Smile

AS's doctor decided to induce labor Wednesday morning. It was a long slow process, but luckily the epidural enabled her to sleep through parts of it. After 31 hours they saw that she and the baby were ready. AS's epidural was working so well that she wasn't sure how to push, but she got the hang of it after three practice pushes. After that, it was about three or four more and the baby just shot out! Compared with my 2 hours of pushing with no results, it looked like magic to me!

So anyway, here is our darling little SL. She was 6 lbs. 13 oz. and 20 inches when she was born. Just 4 oz. and 1/2 inch bigger than her big sister was!






We are overwhelmed with how wonderful it is to have a little baby again. Of course she's still very sleepy and hasn't started giving us hell yet!



AA has been staying with our friends and having a blast. They took her to daycare yesterday and today as well, so part of her routine is still there.

NT went to get a carshare; we decided to get a 24 hour rental so we can have it to bring AA to visit SL today, and also still have it when AS and SL are discharged tomorrow. I'm going to stay the night in the hospital with AS and SL, and NT is going to spend the night at home with AA.

I've only managed to sleep about 5 hours Wednesday night and maybe 4 hours last night, plus a couple catnaps, so I'm very dazed and not very coherent. Just saving up my energy to notify friends, family, co-workers and lawyer, and to take care of SL.

I have this amazing feeling that my family is complete. It will feel even better once we get everyone back home and get to know one another better.

I miss my little AA, and it's strange to have another little creature who also commands all my love. Seeing them together is going to be crazy.

I might try to do a financial post about birth-related spending, or I may not get around to it. Wink Suffice it to say for now that we have a buffer in the budget that can absorb the incidentals we've found ourselves spending on.

    I checked our announcement of AA's birth and see we revealed her name just once. So I'll say that "SL" stands for Sylvie Lucille. Smile

    Congrats!

    It's been such a joy to have two little boys exactly 2 years apart - I am sure you will experience much the same with two little girls. How exciting!

    I didn't catch the name before! My mother's name was Lucille. I like seeing the old names come back!

    CB, my mother's middle name is Lucille! And I had a great aunt with that name, and AS's great-grandmother as well. It's so pretty.
