Margot was born on the 11th of September!
The birth was a little more exciting than that of Madeline - I woke up around 2:45am and thought, huh, I think I'm in labor - and she was born at 5:11am. I hemorrhaged after she was born and have had some other complications this week so we're still having a nesting phase of me sitting around in bed or on the couch with her.
Madeline had surgery on her broken arm on Monday. When they opened up her arm they found it was not the horrible pin needing break they thought it was so drained a bunch of fluid and blood and stitched her up into a new cast. Because it's back to an occult fracture, her cast should come off in three weeks instead of the earlier anticipated 6+ weeks.
We're finishing up the final details of moving in. Marty and Ellie (Harris's mother and Aunt) were here over the weekend to cook and clean (omg they made the woodwork they touched sparkle) Once everyone is healed and settled I'll post a bunch of pictures. Right now, it looks more like a convalescent home than a home with a new baby and vivacious daughter.
So much has happened in the past week. It's all really a blur of time and events and long drawn out stretches that have raced by in moments.
