Annelise was born at 8:02 this morning with loud cries to let us know she was out and in the world. She weighed in at 7lbs, 3 oz. and is 19 3/4" long. The pediatrician and nurse proclaimed her perfect, with absolutely no concerns at birth. She was able to ride out of the OR on my chest and met her big sister, Mam, and Pap back in our room. She is pink and looks great!!
This afternoon the nurse detected a heart murmur, so we're waiting to hear more about that. We're hopeful that it's just a normal newborn murmur, but obviously we'll be able to discuss that with the pediatric cardiologist tomorrow. Not sure when the echo will take place, but I'll do my best to post as soon as possible ... with all good news!
Thanks to everyone who has called to check in. Sorry it took so long to get this posted! Things went well this morning, but I didn't sleep much last night and it's been a bit of a long day. :-) But as I sit here typing, Annie is sleeping peacefully in her Mam's lap. Hooray, hooray, hooray!
