She's arrived! Sydney Grace announced her presence to the world on Saturday, December 20th, at 4:04 pm. She weighed in at 6 lbs 12 ozs, and measured 21 inches long. After an emergency c-section (Sydney was trying to be born "sunny-side up") we got to bring her home on Christmas Eve. What an awesome Christmas gift!
Mom and Dad, well, we are faring better than anticipated. We are thankful for family and friends and all of their support (and expertise as we experience on the job training!). Things we have discovered this week? Swaddling baby requires a combination of Jedi mind-tricks and duct tape. Hats don't stay on baby's head no matter how much glue is used. "Squirt" is an appropriate nickname at least 6-8 times per day, one of the reasons being how little and cute baby is...
We are so blessed with our baby Sydney, and look forward to introducing her to all of the wonderful people in our lives who will impact our little girl as she grows!
