Priya Lynn is Here!

On Thursday, Meg's doctor told her not to expect the baby to be born before her due date on the 28th. What does she do with that news? She decided to ignore that advice altogether and went into labor the next morning!


{Yay! I hope this is the real thing!}

We arrived at the hospital around 10 am. Nine hours of labor later... no baby. Instead, her doctor decided that Meghann wasn't progressing fast enough, but when they gave her pitocin, Priya's heart rate dropped more than was okay. In the end, it was decided that it wasn't worth the risk of having something go wrong and that it was time to do a c-section.


{We got some sweet dubs to wear to the operation}

This time around it wasn't an "emergency" c-section like we had with Porter, so it was weird to just be sitting around waiting for things to get ready to go. The procedure went great and Priya was born at 9:37 pm. She weighed 6 lb 6 oz and is 21 inches long. She's very healthy and beautiful! She's a wide-eyed little miss and we're loving every minute of it!



{I'm just kidding! Let me back in, I'm cold!}


{Just out of the OR}


{Yay! Sister is finally here!}


We're so grateful for a healthy, lovely little girl! Thanks to everyone who has helped and reached out to us. We have great family and friends! Stay tuned for more updates!
