She's Here!!

Just a quick post to let you know that our beautiful little daughter is here. Nya Greta Chapman was born via C-section at 8:30am. It was a pretty emotional time in the OR but a good one. She was shockingly small (7lbs 14oz), with a nice big head, 21.5" long and super healthy.

She is feeding well (yay, no blood sugar problems!!!) and so far I feel really good. I will have a full post in about 4 days but in the meantime I will rest and enjoy holding my little girl who wears newborn size clothes!

Nya is swahili/gaelic and means `Purpose' (it's also the new name.). Greta is my mom's name.

She's got dark brown hair under that hat:)


Have a great week and thank you for your thoughts and prayers.
Love, Louise
