She's here!!!!!

Kathryn Olivia Arnold was born Friday, October 08th, 2010 at 8am. She was 7lbs. 13oz. 19 in. long. The C-Section went well, or as well as a C-Section can go. They pretty much suck. We thought she was a bit chunky for her weight/height, but we think she may have been a little swollen. She was fine the next day. She is the most laid back, sweet, happy baby ever! She is already spoiled though, she loves to be held. I am having a really hard time sleeping at night, not only because Kat's awake, but also because it's so hard to get comfortable after surgery. I'm healing, slowly, but wish the healing would speed up. I chose to breastfeed/bottle feed her. I mostly breastfeed, but right now my nipples are straight out of a horror movie. They are dry, cracked and bleeding. It hurts like hell. So I supplement with Similac Advance sometimes to give them a break. She prefers the breast though. I am so glad I get to share this with her. I couldn't with my other two girls. It's a really great bonding time for Mommy/Baby.
Johnnie is so in love with her. She's his baby girl through and through. And she's completely taken by him. It's so sweet to watch them together. I'm very thankful that they share such a close bond and love for one another. He's a great Daddy.
He's been an amazing husband too. He really does go out of his way to take care of all of us, especially me. He makes sure I'm comfortable and have everything I need. I don't know what I'd do without my Johnnie. I don't ever want to find out either.
Our family is complete now. We have three amazing little girls. We are so blessed!!
