Lily Elizabeth made her debut on August 16th at 11:20 pm. She came into the world after 11 hours of labor but made it just in time to share a birthday with her Aunt Debi, cousin Harry, and cousin Mary & Nick's anniversary.
Lily came out crying a high-pitched wail and someone immediately said, "she'll be a singer". We hope so. Once the initial tests were completed, she snuggled up to Mom and Dad and was absolutely peaceful.
At first look, Lily resembled Benson, with a round face and chubby cheeks. However, her profile looks just like McKay.
First snuggles with Daddy.
Lily was awake for several hours just looking around and taking this new world in. She didn't cry at all, just stared into our eyes, curious and gentle.
There is always a sweetness in the room during those first few hours with a new baby. Those introductions are so precious and the Spirit of the new child, straight from Heaven, is so strong. Lily came to Earth with a peace about her that has been both healing and strengthening.
"Hello, Nanna!"
"Hello, Papa!"
"Hello, Grandma!"
Tucked in Daddy's arm.
Welcome to the world, my beautiful baby girl.
