She is here!
Skylar Alice McKinney was born Thursday, September 29 at 11:29 p.m. She weighed 7 lbs., 9 oz., and was 20.5" long. She looks like Patrick, but not like Leila, who also looked like Patrick. We have decided she has Patrick's eyes, cheeks, and mouth; my ears; my mother-in-law's nose; and my mother's chin. She is long like me. She has a full head of light brown hair and deep blue eyes.
September 29 was my due date and I went into labor naturally in the afternoon. She was right on time! While we waited for Skylar to arrive, my family and Patrick's dad were hanging out with us at the hospital. We had a little party while we waited--after the epidural of course!! I had an easy labor & delivery and Skylar was just perfect when she was born. Screaming her head off, of course, which is somehow really cute on a newborn. Everyone was a real trooper, wating until after midnight to see her.
I have literally not had minutes alone to blog up until now. Two kids is a whole new ball game. Let's just say mommy is reallllly tired. Skylar is a sweet, good baby, but she wants to eat all of the time. She basically has an insatiable appetite. She is gaining weight quickly and is outgrowing her newborn onesies fast. She is really long but not chubby though. She does have cute baby rolls though!
Leila loves her little sister--"Sissy"- and helps me by holding her and feeding her, with help of course. She is so sweet to the baby and wants to take care of her babies too like we take care of Skylar. It is just adorable. Her baby dolls go in the swing, and in Skylar's bed and in a sling. Oh so cute!
