Welcome Lillian!

  

Lilly was born on Flag Day at 6:31 pm. She weighed 5 lbs 15 oz and was 19 inches long. Here she is just minutes after she was born. We both were so blessed. The labor was only three and a half hours with no complications. The best part for me was no iv, stitches, or drugs and minimal monitoring! We really didn't have time for any of that because we were only at the hospital for an hour before she came. Plus the maternity ward was packed and they seemed to be a little understaffed. 

Grandma Peterson came the next morning with the kids. I thought this was such a sweet picture. I'll post more later.

Lilly has been an angel so far. She likes her sleep and only wakes to nurse once in the middle of the night. Things have gone so well I can hardly believe how blessed we've been. I healed up quickly and adjusted to nursing again with only one infection, which is a miracle for me! Heavenly Father hears and answers prayers and sends many tender mercies everyday. We all love our little Lilly. I'm so grateful for my little ones that still have the breath of heaven about them.

Thanks to all the many helpers that have made life easy! We love you!
