On July 1st after a dramatic day of pondering the option of a c-section due to her size and giving my body the chance to do it's job we decided to let them break my water and see what happens. 2 hours later she was here and completed our little family. She came out so fast they said she was stunned and she did not cry immediately but about 1 minute later let it loose and has been bossing us around ever since. We are so grateful and feel eternally blessed to have her after 15 weeks of bed rest and complications galore. She weighed in at a healthy 8 pounds 8 ounces and 19 1/4 inches long.
We call her Savie and Blake only calls her baby sister. Blake has proven since day 1 to be the best big brother, he is constantly asking "Baby Sister are you alright?" he must know where she is at all times, and if anybody other than Mommy and Daddy are holding her he makes it known that is not acceptable.
She looks just like her brother did with just a couple extra pounds.
This is Brooke our doula and thank goodness she was there, this labor was no joke and despite being only 2 hours long was much more painful than Blake's 4 hour long labor.
She shot out of there like a bullet and was a little beat up.
We got to go home about 36 hours later and Blake and Daddy came to pick us up. Blake was excited to see Mommy but did not like the hospital setting and quickly wanted to leave.
Heading home.

We have adjusted as well as can be expected and the transition has been much less traumatic than I ever expected for everybody involved.
