Carys May Halvorsen

Carys is here! She was born May 17th at 9:40am, she was 8lbs 3 oz and 22 inches. She had some issues and had to spend a week in NICU, talk about some stressful times! That was so miserable, she didn't get to eat for the first 2 days, Scott didn't get to hold her until late Monday night (she was born on a saturday) She is home now and all is well. She's doing great, even nursing well considering her week away from me! The girls adore her. It has been tough with my neice and nephew here too....5 kids is a lot! The extra 2 have some issues that are hard to deal with, but overall we are all well

Carys did decide to come on the one day we didn't want her to! It was Kaitlyn and Abby's dance recital day, so I took them to dress rehearsal on Friday with no clue labor was pending, but missed the recital. At my Friday docs appt. I had no progress and they had set an induction date, however he did stip my membranes.... I went into labor around 4am or so, woke up with contractions, the whole thing lasted just over 5 1/2 hours, not too bad.

So my sweet little newest princess is sleeping next to me on the couch right now, she's looking just like her daddy, more and more every day. She also seems to have his personality thank goodness, she only cries when she's hungry.

We are very blessed and thankful everything turned out ok.....
