Welcome to the world Baby Lily Marie!

Baby Lily made her arrival on Friday, 3 weeks early. It certainly wasn't according to plan but everything worked out fine and she and her Mama are doing great. She is beautiful and looks just like Arla. She was born at 11:52 pm and was 7 pounds, 11 ounces and 19.5 inches long. We all headed to the hospital as soon as we found out Arla needed a c-section. We spent several hours in the visitors room waiting.

Waiting is hard when someone you love is having surgery.

But then finally at almost 1 am, we got the text we had been waiting for, a smiling Arla and Baby Lily!

Grandma was very relieved and excited and emotional of course!

We were all so relieved and now we just had to wait some more until we could see her. We had to wait another hour and a half before we were allowed to go in one at a time to go to the recovery room to see Arla and Lily. She was just beautiful and looked just like her Mama. I didn't take my camera back with me to recovery because I wanted to hold my niece. She was perfect and slept in my arms. I was so happy she was  finally here and that everything was okay.

Since we only got a quick visit since Arla was still in recovery from having a c-section, we went back on Saturday afternoon to spend some more time with the new family.

Welcome to the world little Lily Marie, we can't wait to watch you grow!
