Victoria Catherine Iredell










This Christmas was the best Christmas ever! On December 22 at 3:18 pm, Bryan and I welcomed Victoria Catherine Iredell into this world. She weighed 7 1/2 lbs and was 19.5 inches long. We hoped for a natural birth (that means with drugs but no knives!! Drugs are a must!!) but after 3 hours of pushing the doctor called for a c-section. Victoria was sunny side up and just too big. So everyone says c-section babies have a perfect head, well not our baby!! Bryan was reassured by the doctor that her head would shrink and it has!!

So far things are good. At her 2 week appointment she was 7.9 lbs and 21 in. long. She loves to eat and is a huge thumb sucker! She makes the cutest faces and melts our hearts when she smiles (granted she has no idea what she is doing). Here are some pictures from birth, then 1 week and then 2 weeks.
