Well the time has finally come, it's time to introduce the princess of the house. Everly Lorraine joined us a day after her brother's 9th birthday! We are going to have busy September's from here on out, but Nolan has already volunteered to have combined family parties :). For the most part everything went pretty smoothly, she didn't come out quite as quickly as Bennett but she was a close second. I had some issues with the first epidural they tried to give me, but second time was a charm and I started feeling no pain just in time to push! I wasn't planning on natural childbirth, but I definitely almost experienced it! But it's been a few months since that day now, so I'm starting to get that motherly amnesia everyone talks about. Now as I look back, that day seems nothing but blissful (almost). She came out with a decent head of hair and a prominent butt chin, definitely a Struckmann baby! Depending on the person you ask or the day you look at her depends on whether you think she looks like Nolan or Bennett. If you ask me, she is a perfect combination of both. We are so in love. She has completed our family and made our hearts full.
Things were going a little too smoothly, so Everly decided to spice things up a bit. She landed herself in the NICU for a couple of days due to an eye infection. They wanted to give her some antibiotics and do some testing to make sure there was no infection in her bloodstream and that it was just concentrated in the eye. She was given a clean bill of health after a couple of days in the NICU and we were cleared to go home!! I did think we needed a couple of pictures though to include with her journey, the nurses even made her a little banner to spice up her space a bit.
And FINALLY we got to bring the little princess home. Look at those proud big brothers!!
