Well, the wait is over! Really? Could it be? I have four kids now!
So we finally have Miss Mersadie here and we're catchin' up on the old routine and getting comfortable in life now. I went in on the sixth and had my water broken and she was born within two hours after the most intense pain I have ever felt in my life. Wow. But she is so perfect and so beautiful. We are having the time of our lives getting to know her and just watching her. She always has a crowd, whether it's the kids or other family or friends. We have loved every moment. The kids have been extremely helpful and just love to look at their sister. They hold her for a few seconds at a time and then want me to take her, it's pretty funny. But they always make sure to get their hand sanitizer on first, which makes me laugh at how diligent they are in it. She is a comfortable baby, not particularly whiny, only when she needs something. Her full name is Mersadie Jade Chaffin. She was born June 6, 2012, and weighed 6 lbs 7 oz, 19.5 inches long.
Please excuse the smeared makeup...this was just a couple of hours after I delivered.
Just after her first bath and wide awake.
Cozying up with Grandma.
Laying on Papa's lap with the rose he got for her.
Sister sooooo happy to have her here finally!
Lovin' to be so awake already!
