So after a long, traumatic (and dramatic!) labor and delivery, our Sophia is finally here!

I hope youre sitting down ladies.

Sophia Coral Clementine
11 lbs, 5 ounces!!!!! Didnt tear!
20 3/4 inches long

She has the thickest reddish brown you have ever seen and people are saying she actually looks like me! (as opposed to dd1, who is DHs twin)

Ill post the birth story AFTER everyone has finished giving birth. But heres a tidbit, she DOES have the heart problem they suspected but wont need surgery for months, had shoulder dystocia, now shes in the NICU but expecting to go home in a few days to a couple weeks!

:::

Ill chat with everyone soon!!!

Little update:

I pretty much have no update, we sit down with all the docs and specialists today. From what Ive heard in passing, she actually will probably have to have the surgery sooner than expected, maybe in next couple weeks BUT our cardio surgeon is amazing and she is so big, it makes her heart that much easier to work on. She has a pulled muscle in her neck from the dystocia and still is on a ventilator. The docs say her lungs are "gorgeous" but the heart problem is making it hard for them to work. But shes stable and thats all I could ask for at this point in time!!!

Oh yeah, ans shes is freaking adorable. Like, REALLY adorable!!!

Im pumping and rented a hospital grade pump so thats going really well!!!

Talk with you soon!!

Heres a couple pics and dont be scared, theres a lot of tubes, but they are for good!
