Scarlett, Day 1

I'm happy to finally get some pictures up, especially since my parents were in Europe when Scarlett
 arrived and haven't seen most of these photos, so prepare for lots!
The pretty bouquet and hand made cards from Brady, for us (me and his mom).
And then the last picture of me being pregnant with Scarlett 
(little did we know it was T minus 1 hour and she'd be here)!


The only 2 pictures in the hospital we had time for BEFORE Scarlett arrived.


 My little love is here with a healthy set of lungs!





Our special 1 hour alone time together for skin to skin, nursing, and bonding.
If you can't already tell from the pictures, I was SOOoooo happy!
I wasn't drowsy or anything after the delivery since I didn't have any drugs 
and I just really loved this special time with my baby.





Being wheeled to post pardum...

...but first we wanted to get a pic with Nurse Julie who delivered Scarlett

The sweetest little girl!!!




She was born on a clear sunny day


This strawberry outfit was one of our favorites on Olivia too.

We have a video of Olivia first meeting Scarlett too, maybe we'll get it on here soon, but she was soooo
 proud to be a big sister. She has stepped into the role so easily and absolutely ADORES her little sis! 
I'm so proud of her!


I loved this moment. Olivia will touch my face when she's in a really sweet mood, and here she was 
touching Scarlett so softly, almost a whisper, with one hand and me so softly with the other and talking 
in a sweet soft voice. All I could hear her say was "Mama, baby Scarlett". She did this for days after we 
got home from the hospital. It made me feel like she was thankful to me for giving her a little sister.

 Trying to get that "first family of 4 pic". They had just brought in my food and there was a plate with
 two cookies on it so Liv grabbed one and was kind enough to share the other one with me.




Here she is just loving that baby so much that she dropped a chunk of cookie into her bed. 
Just always trying to share ;)

I love this picture of Grandma Debi and Scarlett



We love this sweet girl!

I agree with what was already said....how is it possible to look that pretty right before, during and after having a baby! Love all the pictures of Scarlett and seeing Livy with her! My favorite is the family shots with cookies in hand:) gotta love 2 year olds! I'm so glad you posted pictures especially since we haven't gotten to meet her yet:( Keep enjoying that sweet little bundle
