For years now, I have dreamed of blogging those three words!!! It's a GIRL!!!! Coming in on her due date via C-Section at 10:39 am, 8 pounds, 10 ounces, 21 inches, we happily greeted our new baby girl, Capri Catherine! It's funny but while I thought I would be much more relaxed going into surgery the second time around, it was actually the opposite, as I had terrible anxiety - probably a combination of the surgery nerves/terrifying temporary paralysis and the not knowing the sex. The first 10 minutes seemed like hours, BUT once I saw this tiny precious creature and heard her cry, I don't remember any more of the surgery and all I could think was how happy I was that I got my baby girl!
I'm so grateful that Tony got everyone's reaction when he let Luca announce the birth to everyone in the waiting room - it's such a special moment, but unfortunately the mommy never gets to be there!
And I am also very grateful that Zio Greg got Luca and Capri's first meeting on camera! Such a precious scene...
Capri brought Luca a gift when she met him, a new Silver Surfer doll - I think she made a good impression! He really seemed to be enamored by her, not wanting to let her go. He took a nap with me in my hospital bed that afternoon and when he woke up, he took a moment to look around and remember where he was and why, then he saw Aunt Cat holding Capri at the end of the bed and he looked at me and asked "Can we have our baby back now?" So sweet!
Hooray! Our family is complete!!!
