She's here!!!!!!

After many hours of labor, we ended up having a c-section. Ruby Claire came into this world on September 29, 2011 at 9:41am. She was 8lbs and 15oz and 21 inches long. She is definitely chubby and round. She had to go directly to the NICU because her blood sugar was only 20. She is having trouble controlling her sugar and will be in the NICU until we leave the hospital. This is very difficutlt for both me and Frank, to not have her with us all the time. We are absolutely in love with her!!!! Here are a few picture of her and we will be updating more often, now that we have very intersting things going on.

My first look at her.


Her first weigh in.


Her very first bath.


Happy family picture.

Belly Pics and the rest of Ruby's room

I know I promised this a few weeks ago, but I am just getting around to it. I had Frank take a couple pictures so you can see just how big Ruby is getting. I am ready to meet her now. I am 38 weeks and 2 days. She could be here any day now. The other pictures are of her room, we finally finished the decorating and it is all ready for her.


Frank took this from his height, so I look extra short and squat!


And now from my height. I think Ruby has run out of room, not sure how my belly can stretch anymore.


Finally got the rest of her curtains up, these are blackout curtains to hopefully help her sleep longer during the day.


Her changing table.


This is above her changing table. We found the letters to spell her name in Charleston.
