As you all know by now, Marlee Nicole has arrived. I am a little behind on the blog and facebook, guess I have had a better way to spend my time this first week home. :-)
The C-Section was not as bad as I had anticipated, and being one week later I do feel pretty good. There were a couple days that I worried had the right decision been made, but I feel good now. I guess childbirth in any fashion can not be painless. We all know I was scared as I could be and I was good at holding back the tears until Trey got there. When he walked into the room I lost it. I'm not sure why, it may have just been hormones. But there was something about seeing him and holding him that broke me. At that point I am not sure everyone else in the room wasn't crying as well.
Marlee arrived at 9:18am that Thursday morning. She weighed 6 lbs. 14 oz and was 21 1/4 in. long. She is already tall and skinny. LOL..... AND.......Trey was right!! She has the most beautiful complexion and a head full of black hair! Lee said it was amazing to see them pull her out and realize that Trey was right, she was just as he had described her.
Lee was wonderful through all of it, he was a trooper and took some great shots of her being born. Lee really is a great daddy and husband. He did everything he could possibly do to make me feel better and he couldn't have treated Trey anymore special on that day. Marlee is now the light of his eye, along with Trey. We all tried to tell him there will be that something special between a daddy and his little girl. But, I guess you don't really get that until you are in that situation. He is a proud daddy, once again.
Marlee is a great baby, she only cries if there is a reason and then it really isn't too bad. She is so tiny and holding her is like holding a baby doll. Trey is still awesome and hasn't been jealous of her. He loves her, you can see it is in his eyes and the way he holds her and kisses her. He is and will be an amazing big brother.
I want to thank our family who has been there for us through all of this. Our family has helped us with Trey, helped get the house ready before we came home. Picking Trey up from school, hanging out with me at the house in case I needed help, helped entertain Trey when he gets home from school and driving us to the places we need to go. Thank you we are blessed to both have an awesome and supportive family.
I hope you enjoy the pictures!
