She's here!

Scarlet Lilja
7 lbs
21 inches long


This picture cracks me up, purely because of my hair.  I sort of lost it during delivery and someday I will get around to telling the story. Here, I was just glad to have my baby in my arms! 



after her bath, with her "first hat" from the hospital

We are so tickled to have Scarlet join our family!

She's so beautiful. You look fantastic to have just given birth to a baby! And, as you know, I just love that mustache on John.

Chelsea! I'm so happy for you and your family! Am I seeing a little Brooklyn in her? Hmm. Hope your feeling great and loving that cute little Scarlet. I love her name too. So exciting!

Ha! I can't get over John's mustache...I had Gracie with an epidural that hadn't started working yet (so basically natural) so I totally understand if that is what you meant by "losing it" :)Good Job!!
