Lillie Mae!!!!!

Well let us first begin to say, We love our sweet baby girl... she is absolutely perfect!

The road to getting here was far from what we expected. Well what started as a good labor faded out as we waited in the hospital. Emily's contractions stopped coming so they put her on medicine to restart them. She labored for 12 hours and had only dialated to 5cm. The problem it turns out was that little Lillie had her face up and wasn't in the right position. But after another 2 hours Emily was finally able to push. Due to Lillie's size and her positioning Emily's cervix wasn't able to fully dilate even after 2 hours of pushing, and there were concerns about how the baby was handling the labor. So 24 hours after the water broke, our midwife and the doctors suggested that we needed to have an emergency c-section. So quick change of plans and scenery and at 7:25 am Lillie Mae Smith was born. She weighed in at 9 lbs 4 oz, and measured 22 inches long. Both Emily and Lillie are doing well, and after the crazy labor the c-section turned out to be quite a relief. Definitely not what we planed, but God seams to work all these things out. We must say that Lillie is a very content child and loves to be held, so far we haven't had any problems with that. We will be in the hospital resting until Friday, we think Emily and Lillie will up for visitors on Wednesday and Thursday so give us a call. We will add more pictures soon.
