Kendall arrived very, very early on March 3 at 12:32 AM. She weighed in at 8 pounds, 10 ounces (OUCH) and was delivered naturally. When I asked Matt at 2:00 AM on Saturday morning how long she was was, he jokingly told me "about 2 1/2 feet." LOL - a 30 inch baby, huh??
We found out later that she actually measured in at 19 inches. Far more reasonable...
Aarica is doing alright - she is recovering nicely from a long labor and a strenuous delivery. According to Matt, she was a trooper and did a wonderful job making this first baby happen!
Kendall's big brother, Elijah, is by all accounts very happy and delighted with his baby sister's arrival. At five years old, he is such a sweet, loving child. Matt has done an amazing job raising him and he is warm, empathic and compassionate. From what Matt reports, he didn't want to put Kendall down, and when they finally did put her in the crib, he kept walking over and touching her cheek.
Pictures will be posted soon. Matt, Aarica and Kendall are still in the hospital, and due to come home tomorrow (Monday). Matt promises to send pictures as soon as he can! If he and Aarica allow, I will post them when we get them!
