I had our beautiful baby girl on Thursday, the 13th at 1:37 pm. She weighed in at 6 lbs 14 oz and was 19 1/2 inches long. She has a ton of dark hair and it is curly top. She is just a doll, we are so in love with her. I was able to have a waterbirth and just had the most amazing birth. I feel so blessed. She nursed like a pro right at birth and has had no problems with it. We are just in awe of her. I'm recovering pretty well, we are still dealing with high blood pressure, but hoping it resolves itself in the next couple of days. I'll update with pics and more of a birth story later, just wanted to let you know she is here and we are doing great, just trying to get adjusted to having 8 of them

Hope everyone is well!

Oh goodness, I forgot to tell you her name. I think it's the lack of sleep . We named her
Lila Anne. She is just beautiful, I can't wait to post some pics of her!
