Sound the trumpets! Finally, after 38 weeks.....and the last three weeks being the longest, Elyse Hui-En is here. She arrived shortly after midnight, 12.44 am to be exact on the morning of April 17, 2007. Weighing in at 6 lbs even and 47 cm long, she is all well and healthy and everything a parent could ask for. Isn't she just beautiful???
Jon and I are just absolutely in love with this little wonder that does nothing but sleep, consume endless amounts of milk, (my poor mammaries) and producing endless amounts of poopy diapers, but also most capable of making the most hilarious faces we've seen in recent history.
My labor and delivery was long and had it's fair share of complications. In fact, I had to make a lot of changes to my birth plan but in the end, they were done for my baby's well being and safety in mind. The fact that she is here all safe and sound is all that matters.
So, after many sleep-deprived days and nights, I post this blog with an affirmation - it really all is worth it!
