Our Baby Girl!

So, I am a little delayed with this post, but we had our little girl! Lillian Elise Carter was born January 5th at 5:50 pm weighing 7 lbs and 11 ozs and 19 3/4 inches long. We had a few setbacks along the way and she ended up coming into the world by C section and we had to spend 5 nights in the hospital. Brad and I now believe that may have been a blessing because we had the most wonderful care at St. Vincents Hospital and used the extra time to ask a million questions and maximize all the resources of their incredible staff. I really believe it made me more prepared to take our little girl home.
I know that every new mom says this but now I get it... you can never imagine just how much you can love until you have a child! Brad and I are reminded just how amazing God is every time we look at our little miracle! My goal is to keep updated pictures coming in a timely manner, but it turns out babies need a lot of attention so I can't make any promises. :)

One of Lillian's first hospital pictures... First picture of our new family...
Finally going home... She slept the whole way home and through her first pictures...
Even the excitement of seeing her room for the first time didn't wake her...
So we just gave up and let her get comfy in her crib...
