It's A Girl!

Just a quick update: Kendall Reese Eddie was born Tuesday, March 25th at 7:22pm. She weighed 8lbs 4 ozs and was 20 inches long! I had an absolutely wonderful birth experience (I'll have to update later). We are still in the hospital and hope to be leaving tomorrow. Kendall has a minor heart condition called SVT (I can't remember the entire word, but that's the short version). Basically, it causes her heart rate to sky rocket. She's on medication that we'll have to administer to her once she's home, but she's stabilized now and doing really well. She was admitted to the NICU a few hours after birth and has been there nearly three days now. I was discharged from my room yesterday afternoon, but, luckily, the hopsital is letting us stay in the room free of charge as long as they have room availability. She's nursing like a champ, so I've been sleeping an hour here and there and then running up to the NICU to feed her every three hours, so I'm sorry I haven't made any calls! She's absolutely beautiful and very even tempered and happy despite all of the needle pokes, wires, monitors and IVs (she's had three separate IVs placed in her scalp....I can't wait for those to come out!). She has her mommy's dark brown hair and olive skin. She's down to 8lbs even now, which seems so little to us compared to Blake--he was 8lbs 15ozs! Once we're home, I'll be able to upload the pictures--we have hundreds! Hopefully it will be early afternoon tomorrow....Please pray she continues to remain stable and doing well! I should mention that SVT is a condition she'll eventually grow out of and it's not really fatal.
