James and I got to the hospital Thursday at 6 am and walked right into a labor room to get ready for my C-section. The doctors and nurses were super nice and we had a nice, slow C-section prep while my parents watched the boys at home (actually I think they slept until around when we went into the OR.)
Here's James in his jumpsuit scrubs- he thought he was ready for a chemical attack 
I Once we got in the OR everything happened real quick. At 8:12 am, I could hear her good set of lungs. Here's KG's first picture- she was pretty blue when she was born. James cut her umbilical cord and then they brought her over so I could see her. Then James and KG went to another room for her bath and measuring while I was sewn up. 7 lbs 3 oz 19.6 inches
Before 9, I was back together and in the room with James and KG and she nursed like she'd been doing it her life a little while later. Here she is with bright eyes while we recovered together.

They were super excited to meet their new baby sister. I'm not sure T understood but he copied his big brothers in a 19 month old way. KG and I were super sleepy so they didn't stay long but everyone got to meet each other. Friday my parents and the boys came back to visit. We had a sparkling cider toast to welcome KG and shared some cookies that the boys helped bake. The boys all got to wear their Big Brother T-shirts and try out the Daddy bed- K had been talking about that bed for weeks.
Grandma got to come visit Saturday morning!
Here's KG in her carseat ready to go home Saturday afternoon-
We had a celebration dinner that night- hamburgers, hotdogs, baked beans, and 2 pink cakes- we sang happy birthday but KG didn't get any cake! So many blessings!!
