She's Here!

Just as they are reaching in to get her!

She came out butt first, literally in half. Her head is just about to come out in this picture (her butt is in the air).

She's out!

Look at those legs...just like Oliver's when he came out. Those breech babies always take a while to "unfold"

The greatest Dr. ever-Dr. Maccio has delivered all of my babies. I just love her!

Berkeley has given her about 250 kisses so far!

Berkeley has a little moses basket for one of her dolls and she wanted to put Finley in the basket along with her purple blanket. Finley loved it and slept in it for about 2 hours!

Well, our little Finley Winslet made her grand entrance into the world on Wednesday, March 17th at 8:02 am. She weighed 6 lbs 3 oz and is 18" long! Everything went really smoothly and I was so glad to have it over with and am so blessed to have another beautiful and healthy baby. She came out completely folded in half just like Oliver. My Dr. said Finley definitely chose the right way to position herself in there, because if I would have had a VBAC, my uterus would have burst. It was paper thin and they barely even touched the scalpel to it before it came completely open. If we would have tried turning her, it most likely would have burst, resulting in an emergency c-section. I know it's extremeley hard to find a Dr. who is even willing to do a VBAC because of the very rare chance of this happening, but my Dr. is one of the few who does them. I am so grateful that it all went the way it did! That could have been a disaster! It kind of makes me queasy just thinking about it.

She is doing really well. We just got home from her first Dr. appt. and she weighs 5 lbs 10 oz and seems to be doing fine. We have to go back in another week to check her weight, but she is not jaundiced or anything yet so that is a huge relief!

Berkeley and Oliver love her. All Berkeley wants to do is kiss & hug her, feed her and hold her. She is even sharing her purple blanket with Finley, which is unheard of. She has had her blanket since she was a baby. The blanket goes everywhere she goes and brother is NOT allowed to touch it. Every time Finley is asleep, Berkeley goes over and lays her blanket over her to make sure she is warm and cozy. She is so sweet with her and so helpful. She wants to help change her diaper and put her socks on, etc. Oliver likes to hold her and always says "Where baby Fimley? Hold baby Fimley?" He isn't quite as interested as Berkeley is, but he does seem to like her so far.

Well, she is ready to eat again so I must go. Thanks for all of your prayers. I'll post more pictures soon.
