This picture was taken about one week ago, back in the day when I thought we had 6-7 weeks left before Leni's arrival.
Then there's this picture, which was taken about one week later during the wee hours of this morning when Leni decided she just couldn't wait another 5-6 weeks - arrival time had come.
Baby Helena (Leni) ~ June 23rd, 2010 ~ 5lbs 4oz ~ Beautiful healthy baby sister
Proud Big Brother Ashton ~ A sunny June afternoon ~ On his way to meet his sister!
If you would have asked me this time last week where I thought I'd be today, I can pretty much guarantee you that recovering from an emergency cesarean would not have been at the top of my list of possibilities. Funny how things turn out though, as I can't even imagine being anywhere else right now. Right now seems to be pretty perfect. What a difference a week makes.

I was an emergency c-section also. My husband said it was like a SWAT team descended from the ceiling and suddenly there was a baby. I am forever grateful for our amazing doctors and the nurses.
Hope your recovery is easy and quick. So happy the two of you are healthy! Congrats again to all of you!!!
