Initially, I was in shock that 'a real baby' was here. As soon as the nurse placed her on my abdomen, my first words were "wow, it's a real baby!"
Meili was sooooo excited that her baby sister was finally here! She declared that this was "a happy day" because she finally was a big sister. She has been looking forward to holding and feeding Maia for months.
I'm glad to say that the 40 week pregnancy was worth the outcome - baby Maia!
