Virginia's Arrival

Mommy is only about month late with this post, but better late than never!

Ginny you arrived at 5:08pm on February 7th, weighing 8lbs 15 ounces and measured 19 and 1/4 inches. You arrived quickly and without too much fuss, despite a room full of NICU specialists. It was only after you arrived that we learned what a miracle you were. You had a true umbilical cord knot, something of a rarity and something that is responsible for late term fatality. Yikes! But you arrived happy and healthy, and momma wept. Momma wept for mostly out of shear joy, but also out of relief. Your 9+ months on the inside were stressful and full of unexpected surprises, but we both made it happy and healthy. Your post birth renial and heart scans came back normal (you were at a high risk for developmental complications given your known umbilical cord abnormality). And we made mommy's goal of you being under 9 pounds...gestational diabetes is no joke ☺

You are a great baby, a good eater and thus a good sleeper. You have blessed us with a couple 7 hour stretches at night...I love you for that. Big sister is absolutely in love with you, so much so that we have melt downs when we can't help with EVERYTHING.

Ginny we love you and can't wait to watch you grow!
