Paige Lauren was welcomed into the world on July 2nd at 2:26 AM. She weighed 8 lbs. 5 oz. and 19.5 inches long.
And wouldn't you know that all of my anxiety about what to do with Luke when I went into labor and delivering while my doctor was out of town is so meaningless now. The stars aligned on July 1st and 2nd and our baby girl arrived! It is quite an interesting birth story (at least I think so) so I will post about that separately.
Look at that body :) Can you believe she was 8 lbs. 5 oz.?!?!
Instant love :)
Our first visitors (at 3:30 AM)!
Big Brother Luke wasn't quite sure what to think at first. His first words when he walked in were "Watcha doin' Mommy?" I will say that he both loves her and couldn't care less about her right now. He willingly gives her kisses and wants to lay by her and hold her and then he goes on his merry way not worrying a bit about his baby sister!
Luke was excited about the doctor's kit Paige bought for him!
Our new family of 4!
Grandma and Grandpa Zukowski meeting Paige for the first time!
We thankfully were discharged on Sunday afternoon. We were in the hospital for 36 hours and that was plenty for me. Whoever says to stay in the hospital and get some rest before you come home is crazy. Every time myself or Paige would just about be asleep a nurse would come in for something. I was just really annoyed and wanted to be home! Luke was at our house with his grandparents so I knew he was in good hands, but I really thought I would get more rest at home!
A picture before we leave the hospital!
More visitors at the house!
Aunt Stacey was at the house too, but I didn't get a picture on my camera. I know someone else has it - sorry Stace! And Julie Coughlin-Paulsrud was in the area on Saturday and stopped by the hospital, but unfortunately, we didn't get a picture of her either.
Have you noticed the 'cheese' smile we get from Luke these days - ha!
We are settling in nicely at home. Paige has had a great first couple of nights!
So happy for you!! Hope you are getting rest and enjoying your fam of 4!
