Yes, today was the day that Avella decided to make her grand entrance into the world. I was rushed into an emergency C-section and everything happened very quickly. She was born at 12:04 pm weighing 3 pounds 6 ounces and measuring 16.5" long. And she has hair! I was surprised at that. I still haven't seen her in person. I should be able to tomorrow. Ryan has taken lots of pictures and movies for me to be able to see her. She is perfect. Don't worry, I will post pictures so all of you can fall in love with her like I have.
I will post the entire story when I am feeling up to it. I am still in a lot of pain and I am loopy from morphine.
Thank you everyone for your prayers and kind messages. I have felt such peace and strength throughout this crazy day. I am so grateful for all of you that have been part of this journey. I wish I could thank each of you personally and give you a big hug!
Congratulations, Angela! I hope you get to meet her in person tomorrow! I pray everything will be alright and that you have a speedy recovery. The Lofgren Family loves you!

Congratulations!! I'm so happy for you guys and can't wait to see some pics! And I voted for Avella, I LOVE that name!
ReplyDeleteI have been thinking about you {and Avella!} for weeks! I prayed for you last night and I am glad to hear she is doing well. Amia was 31 weeks and 4 days- after 9 weeks bedrest- and she had a full head of dark curls! She's blond now and her prematurity has not held her back at all. Rest, recover, and know that you have support you didn't even know you had!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I'm glad that things went well. Please take care! Love ya!

ReplyDeleteI, too, am so glad that she made it here safe. It's always a relief to hear that mom and baby are doing well. I bet she's a sweetie (she has to be with a mom like you)! I'm sorry I couldn't make it to the shower, but I do have a gift for your little one. Lots of prayers from the Robbins family.
