She's SO beautiful! Evy arrived safe and sound, three weeks early, and came into the world as hundreds of fireworks went off across the country - so exciting! Her birthday will always be a holiday! She arrived on Canada Day - Tuesday July 1st at 11:04pm. She weighed 6lbs 1oz at birth, though she has lost weight (most babies do after birth) and is now only 5lbs 9oz, the poor wee miss! We need to fatten her up!
The labour & delivery was surprisingly great - thanks to an epidural that numbed me from the ribcage down - I couldn't move or feel ANYTHING! (Let's all pause to praise the epidural as the most wonderful invention in the history of humankind).
We're home now after an extended stay in the hospital -(baby Evy has jaundice but is now on the mend). She seems to like Millbrook, and we certainly like having her home! We went for a walk around town last night all, and, she seemed to enjoy it, though I think she was asleep the whole time!
She's already had lots of visitors, and everyone falls in love with her instantly - she's just so cute! Here are some pictures for you, lots and lots more to follow over the next few days... weeks... years!!
