Morrison Mosaic: Introducing: Lilly Mae

Our precious girl was born on November 27th at 9:46pm. Lilly was 8.1lbs and 21inches long.

Lilly was wanting to make an appearance at 35 weeks, but thankfully the doctors were able to prevent early labor and delivery. At 37.5 weeks, the doctors wanted to induce labor because Lilly was growing and I (Sarah) was having difficulty with my blood sugar staying level. We went in to the hospital on November 19th, fully prepared to have a baby, but after having an amniocentesis (a test to determine the lung development of the baby) done and the results coming back as borderline, the doctor decided to wait a week and let her lungs develop further. We went in to be induced on November 27th. Lilly was breach, so the first step was to see if it was possible to manually turn her. Yes, its about as pleasant as it sounds. My doctor did a great job though, and Lilly turned within about five minutes of trying to turn her. This meant that I wouldn't have to have a C-section! Woohoo! They started inducing me at 1pm and Lilly was delivered at 9:46pm.

We are so thankful for another beautiful, healthy little girl! She only briefly struggled with her blood sugar, but within 24 hours things had leveled out for her. We were very happy that Lilly didn't have to spend any time in the NICU! We have been so blessed with a wonderful group of doctors as well as an excellent hospital.

Noelle was SUPER excited to meet her new sister!

Kisses for Lilly..

We brought Lilly home on the 29th, and she was welcomed wholeheartedly by her older brother and sister. Both Isaiah and Noelle love having a little sister to love on! Isaiah asked me the other day if Lilly was our Christmas present. I told him that she definitely is! He was also extremely excited when I told him that we get to keep her!
