So here is the update for pictures of Miss Joely Bean (her nickname from Mommy and Daddy):

First bath at home.

Peaceful moment in the carseat.  Not usually the case, she hates the carseat.

With her big sisters!

Chill'n on Great Granny's couch.

Joely Ann at 1 month old!

Where was the time gone?!

I can't believe it's been 5 weeks already.

New Baby Girl

Well, it has been way too long and I do apologize for that.

Life seems to fly by even faster now that we have 3 kids.

So I'll do my best to update.

So this is my belly about 5 days or so before the baby was born.

Then on May 13th (a Friday!)

at 3:35 pm, we had:

Joely Ann

7 pounds and 6 ounces

19 and 3/4 inches long.

Isn't she super cute!

I had a c-section, which was expected.

We were delayed by 2 hours or so waiting for the operating room to be available.

I absolutely hate catheters!

I had the shakes really bad when I was in recovery and my teeth were chattering like I was freezing.

I stayed in the hospital for 4 days and ended up having a theme room for 2 of those days.

The nurses were all pretty nice and the food was actually good.

I was so happy to go home and sleep in my own bed though.

My recovery has been really good and pretty uneventful.

Thank goodness for that.

I think it has been easier this time than when I had a c-section with Harper.

It must be because my body knew what to expect.

This week I will try to do another post with more recent pictures of Joely.

I swear you'll think she is the cutest thing ever (I'm biased though!)
