She flipped again and so on 11-25-11 at 10:30 AM, Jason and I were given the greatest blessing in all our lives when Lucy Hannah was brought into them. The C-Section went well, though Lucy may not have been ready to come out. "She's a stubborn one!" said Doctor Sibul, referring to the fact that he had to cut my uterus way more than anticipated because Lady Lucy wouldn't come out! "She's perfect," said the nurse, "though she does have a a growth on her ear." "You mean like this?" I asked. She has a perfect Norman on her right ear, just like mom. Much of that 2 hour period is a blur, though laying eyes on my baby girl for the first time is a memory clear as day. Instantly, I knew she was a beauty.
A week of both tears of joy and otherwise, the first week was a rough one. Lucy did not want to eat and spent it in the NICU. That being said, our small family of four quickly recognized the power that someone or something is playing a hand in Lucy's life - a power greater than ourselves. During Lucy's first week, we learned that she has a VSD in her heart. Through a series of blessings, this was detected and Lucy has been in the care of some of the greatest heart doctors in the entire world. The four of us, along with grandparents and friends, rest assured knowing that Lucy will not only play volleyball and run marathons, but also never remember the surgery that lays ahead.
Here are just SOME highlights from the week...
Eskimo Kisses for Luce!
Dad is in LOVE!!
Lucy's first bear (from Grandma Sher and Grandpa Bruce). It is a Gund Bear, just like Elizabeth!A great shot of Lucy's adorable back!
NORMAN JUNIOR!
Leaving the hospital all together was perhaps the most exhilarating and fantastic feeling we've ever had. Coming home with Grandpa Bruce (Chicago) and being welcomed by Grandma Sher made the first hour a lot easier!
