Parker's Arrival

She is finally here! Parker made her debut Saturday January 3rd around 7:30am. We arrived at the hospital around 4am and Iw as able to deliver naturally around 7:30am. We were truly blessed with the birthing experience we had been praying for, minus the fact that my Dr. wasn't able to be there. It was such a different process than what we experienced with Hudson, both incredible-but very different. The drs and nurses were all very surprised that I was trying for a VBAC and that my Dr. would actually let me try - I'm so glad that she did, because it meant a lot to me. Thank you guys for all your prayers and support through this whole process and we really appreciate all the people that came to visit us in the hospital.

Parker had some problems with jaundice, so she had to stay an extra day in the hospital. The hospital has a Special Care Nursery for those "transitioning" home and so I was able to stay the night with her. The glow-worm picture was taken in the SCN. We are now home and everyone is doing pretty good. We are adjusting to being a family of 4. Our only major hurdle so far is that Hudson has been running a pretty high fever and so we have been doing all that we can to manage the fever and making sure that Parker doesn't catch what Hudson has. Hopefully, everyone will be well by the end of the weekend:)

Enjoy the pics!

Congratulations!!! She is beautiful! I have been checking your blog waiting for the big day! Erin, you are a brave woman - I am so glad your VBAC went smoothly. We'll be praying for Hudson to get better. We had the same thing happen - Jackson ran fever for 5 days when Juliana was born, it really stunk. Not great timing. We're so glad to hear Erin & Parker are healthy & doing well!! Congrats again!
