Miss Ruby Kay

She's finally here! Ruby Kay arrived Wednesday January 19th at 5:28pm. She weighed 7 lbs 3 oz and was 20 inches long. She is so loved already.

I had been wishing her here for at least two weeks, but I'm glad that she came when she did. It was so nice and such a different experience to have a healthy baby. One that can be in the room with us, one I can take care of, and one that gets to come home when we do! That was the best part. It was definitely way better than the circumstances with Marley.

Delivery was great minus an hour or so where my epidural wasn't working on my left side, but once that was fixed it was smooth sailing. She came rather quickly and easily. So glad to have her here!

We have been so blessed by our family. Being a mom is the greatest thing, and I really enjoyed spending some solo time with Ruby while Chad was home taking care of Marley. It was nice to hold her and just stare at her. What a miracle babies are!

Here are some pictures that we took in the hospital. I plan on taking some newborn shots this week sometime. It's funny how hectic life is with a newborn. Even though Chad is home with me to help, life is still so crazy right now. I will adjust eventually...right?
