On March 18th we welcomed our little Lily Erin to the world. She was just over 2 weeks early and quite a surprise. Jay, Steven, and I had all gone to Sarasota for a normal doctors appointment when the doctor sent me to Labor and Delivery to be monitored to make sure she was moving enough. While there, surpisingly I went into labor! Poor Steven & Jay were in the parking lot waiting for me to come out of the doctors office when I called to say they were sending me to L&D. They were quite shocked when I called back to say we were having a baby that day!
Everything happened very quickly after they told me I was having the baby. Steven and Jay came in and sat with me until the Southwell's arrived to pick up Jay. As soon as Steven walked in from dropping him off with the Grammy & Papa they took me to the OR. A few short minutes later Lily Erin was born weighing 8lbs, 6ozs and 20 inches long. She looked (and still does) just like Jay. If she had cooked for 2 more weeks, she would have given her big brother a run for his money in the size category! She's so tiny compared to him!
Jay loves being a big brother. He often forgets she's here but sometimes when he runs by her he stops and crouches down and says, "Hi baby sister." Too cute! He also loves to tell her, "WAKE UP!" Thankfully he hasn't been mean to her at all. He's quite a sweet big brother.
We're all doing well and enjoying being a family of four!
