Home Sweet Home

For those of you who don't already know, Jaycie is here! She blessed us with her presence on Tuesday December 9th at 2:19pm. She shocked us all by only weighing 6 lbs 15oz. That might be a Needs record. She's nice and long at 20 1/4 inches and is nothing but skin and bones.

Delivery went really well. They broke my water at 10:30 am, I got an epidural at 1:00pm when I was dialated to about 3 and a half centimeters, and the next time they checked me at 2:00, I was fully dialated and she was literally falling out. So they had me close my legs (no joke) until the doctor got there and four minutes and one contraction later, she was here. Here are some pictures of her first few days.

She is BEAUTIFUL! Congrats.
I can't believe you have two kids now. Get some rest and then post more pictures when you have time.
I can't believe how quickly your labor went. What a dream. You are lucky!!!

I have spent the past 15 minutes trying to figure out who she looks like. That picture above her going home pic - her look is so familiar to me. I can't figure out if she looks A LOT like Devin or if it's you or if it's a total Needs look or what. But she is GORGEOUS regardless!! I can't believe you have a girl?!?! As she grows I can't wait to hear the differences between raising a boy vs a girl. How fun! Congrats a million times. I love you!

Oh Congrats congrats! She is darling! And so teeny and perfect! You look amazing-- seriously, I wish I could hate you, but I will just be happy for you. :P And I don't know when you cut your hair, but it is SO cute on you. I LOOVE it.
Hope everything is going great and you are getting some sleep. ;) Isn't 2 just wonderful and amazing and all that good stuff?! (If not now, it soon will be!) Good luck. She is so beautiful!
