She was born on May 23rd at 12:34am. She was 6 lbs 15 oz, and was 20 inches long. I had a pretty short labor and was only at the hospital 20 minutes before she arrived. The nurse was a little frantic, I think! :) But it was good for me. I don't do well laboring on a hospital bed. And I was finally able to do a natural birth! (A no-epidural birth I guess would be a clearer way of saying that.) That is a goal I had with the other two and didn't make it, so I was proud of my achievement.
Steve is a proud daddy, and Mira and Emilia adore her. Mira is having a bit of a struggle adjusting to the attention deficit, but she is getting better already. Cecily seems like a laid-back little girl. She sleeps a lot still, but is totally unfazed by screaming fits, slamming doors or pounding toys, poking, kisses, and other not-so-comfortable loves from her sisters.
While the rest of the family was out of the house at church last Sunday, I decided to take some good pictures of her. Then on Monday, I convinced the other girls to do a shoot with their sister. I love these beauties!
