After a long day of waiting the delivery was a breeze. In fact the doctor kept telling me not to push and she just slipped right out! Other than those dreaded cramps each time I nurse, I really don't even feel like I had a baby. I was able to get a really good night sleep last night with just a few feeding interruptions which was nice.
Neeley is just elated to have her here. She is already a great big sister giving lots of loves, kisses and has been a big help already. Kayla really likes her too but needs to learn to be soft with her. When they came to see her in the hospital, Neeley was into the baby and Kayla was into pushing the nurses button and taking "rides" on the bed!
Lilah is a pretty little girl. She really had no "war" wounds and came out looking just perfect! Her little fuzzy hair is dark just like Neeley and Kayla's was. She is really a quiet baby so far (the key word here is so far) and sounds like a little kitty with her noises!
We got home this morning and have made it through a feeding already. Now she is sleeping soundly in her bed and the girls are building forts with the couch cushions.
When the doctor came to see me today I told him I needed him to prescribe two things, the room service menu from the hospital and the nurses call button. The hospital has a new eating plan where you just choose whatever you want from a lengthly room service menu and can order meals or snacks whenever you want. It was pretty nice! And that nurses button is just like round the clock maid service! Too bad we can't take these things home with us. It sure would make things much easier!
Well, I better get some lunch before I have to boob this baby again

Lilah is just perfect. We are so excited to have a new cousin. we just love her already!
Oh, how perfect she is! Congratulations! I'm glad everything went so well. I remember feeling super-energetic after I had my third girl. I guess Heavenly Father knows you need that extra adreneline! We are planning on helping out next Thurs. Let me know if something comes up before then! We love you guys!
Congrats! She's adorable. Which hospital were you at that you had such great service?
Hi, Guys. We are so excited to have baby Lilah here and safe. Like Nikki said, we love to have new cousins, and Busy is excited to have another little friend. We love you guys!
Jen and Jer - she is beautiful. We are so happy for you. Now that we are back from KY we can come and welcome our newest cousin / niece to the family. Congratulations & ditto about the hospital. I LOVE the hospital. Graham crackers and grape juice round the clock are the best!
She's beautiful!!! I can't wait until we all get over these yucky colds so we can come and see her.
I'm also glad you are feeling well, that definitely helps. :)
We love you all!!!
