Lydia Mae Arrives

On Monday, August 30th, 2010 and 8:23 a.m., Evelyn became a big sister. At a substantial 9 lbs and 9.8 ounces, she had a bit of trouble keeping her oxygen up and was admitted to the NICU. Her stay was two days brief before transitioning to the intermediate nursery and 48 hours into the world, her dad and I finally got to hold and love on her. She's got chubby cheeks and dark hair like her big sister did, and seems to have endured all her wires, tests and needle pricking like a champ. We are taking her home today to meet her big sister and can't wait to get to stare at her all the time instead of just visit her in the nursery.
