Tessa Elizabeth 05-09-09

6 lbs. 12 oz. 19 in. 8:11 a.m.
We are so grateful for our healthy baby girl. I think my doctor was so nervous about her weight because Carson was so much bigger than she was. Turns out that she is just fine, just a little on the small side.

Carson wasn't quite sure what to think about it all. He had to come sit right next to me in bed and he liked to play with the blood pressure cord while he was there. I must say that this C-section was much easier than the first. I was up and walking the next day where with Carson it took me a few days. I also wasn't quite as worn out as I was with Carson, granted I wasn't in labor for 24 hours beforehand. I'm sure that has something to do with it. :)

Carson holding Tessa for the first time. Too precious.

Back at home just hanging out in her PJs.

One week old. Most of Tessa's clothes are huge on her. I never did buy any premie sizes so she's doing the 0-3 month sizes right now. This is one outfit that actually fits her well.
