Chloe Anne has arrived :)

skio · March 2011

I'm not up to writing out a birth story now, but Chloe Anne arrived at 11:39pm on March 16th. She was two days early and is a week old today. I was in labor for close to 23 hours including 3.5 hours of pushing. She was presenting forehead first and just would not come through my pelvis, so she was delivered via c-section once I had absolutely exhausted myself and Chloe started showing stress.

Turns out the doctors had underestimated her size - she came out at 8 lbs 13 ounces and 22 inches long. I'm a small girl, so I suppose this explains why I was incredibly uncomfortable in my late pregnancy!

Here are a couple pics. She's a very healthy girl and great sleeper (for now), which has been helping a lot in my own recovery! I have never been so in love in my life. She's perfect.
