Today, at 1:54 pm, Margaret Elisa Lydolph was born to my little sis, Kirsten, and her husband, Paul. Little Meg weighed in at 8 lbs. 9 oz. and is 18" long. We had Tori with us for the afternoon, and got to take her to meet her baby sister for the first time! That is, after I fought my way through some of the worst traffic to get Will and his friends from the ski bus stop in Orem (that is a story for another post, though).
Kirsten looks FANTASTIC!!! I remember how wiped out she was after Tori was born, both physically and emotionally. In fact, I ended up spending the night with her in the hospital, holding newborn Tori all night just so that Kirsten could get some much needed sleep. Tori was a fussy newborn, and the nurses kept bringing her in to Kirsten instead of letting her get some sleep. The only way to get what everyone needed was to have someone on hand to willingly hold and rock Tori all night. That wasn't needed for little Meg. She is a quiet and content little newborn. The labor and delivery were also much less traumatic.
I have some pictures on my camera, but I am too tired to mess with them right now. Maybe later. Sorry!
After watching Tori for a while, I realized how glad I am that my kids are so self sufficient now! I just don't think I have the energy to raise a baby anymore.
So, Tori Bug now has Little Meg to love on and share with. Should be loads of fun at their house!
