Baby Girl has arrived

Its about time!!!! On Saturday October 18, 2008 we welcomed our daughter to this world.
Genevieve Nadine arrived at 4:28. She weighed in at 7 lbs 9 oz, and 20" long. She is feisty and sweet all in one. It was a wild and crazy ride getting her but now that we have her hopefully it will be smooth sailing.
She and I both had a lot of distress during delivery. My bp dropped and so did my heart rate -- she then followed with the heart rate. After 3 hours of pushing she arrived screaming her little head off.
She spent Saturday night in my room and then was taken to the NICU for the remainder of her stay. She had developed an allergic reaction to my blood type since mine is one and husbands is another. Additionally she had jaundice really bad. They had to give her fluids via an IV. That was scary to have your little one in the NICU.
I will say the hospital she was born at was full of great doctors, and nurses. Ones that seemed to really care about A) me, B) the baby C) there job.

We finally got to bring her home late on Friday what a relief that was.

She has been a good baby only cries when she need to eat.

She has traveled well to the airport (almost an hour ride each way) and even was good at the restaurant for lunch.

Well off to tend to baby.
