We went in bright and early (5:30am!) on March 9th for the c-section and Autumn was born at 7:51am at 6 pounds, 1 ounce and 19 inches. We were so blessed to have a dear friend from church, Jamie Stice, as our Labor and Delivery nurse, which meant she got to be right there with us through the surgery and even was able to stay with me through parts of the recovery where Eric couldn't be with me, which was extremely reassuring. Overall, the surgery went well and I've had a great and quick recovery! There was a small complication on the 2nd day after the surgery when my blood count dropped really low and I had to have a blood transfusion, but everything went well and it has helped out my recovery tremendously - I'm already feeling back to 100%!
Autumn has been amazing! She got down to 5 1/2 pounds the first week but she has been putting the weight back on and is doing extremely well! She has a very calm personality (which we have no idea where that comes from!) and is already doing great at sleeping (which has been a huge blessing for her parents!) Below, I've posted several pictures of Autumn from the first couple days when we were still in the hospital. I know I'm bias but she is a super cute baby!
Our first family picture!
