The c-section went well. She has a big head and broad shoulders so it made it a little difficult to come out. She had quite the set of lungs on her when she was born and did not stop crying until she was all wrapped up in blankets and in Matt's hands. She looks like how Carson was when he was born. She is a good mix of Matt and I and we cannot tell who she looks like more. She does have hair and very light eyebrows, so her hair might turn light over time. She sleeps a lot and seem to be very mellow and content. Only cries when she is frustrated with feeding and cold. She like to be bundled up and takes a pacifier well. We had Carson meet her today and new that she was a baby and that was about it. It did have a hard time with me not being able to pick him up. So i think that is going to be our number one struggle for the next while. I am doing well and seem to be recovering a lot faster this time. It has been nice to have Matt here 24/7 and having him help and entertain me. My mom is watching Carson, bless her, for Carson has been quite the handful. We owe her big time. I have not downloaded the pictures yet. That is one thing i will work on tomorrow and then you all can see how cute she is. We just love her!
