Faith Marie Nielsen

Well, she’s finally here!!!! We headed to Shawnee Mission Hospital around 6:30 am on Monday morning to be induced. I started to get hooked up to the IV’s and monitors a little after 7 and at 11:13 am, Faith Marie Nielsen made her way into the world!! Everything went very well, so there are no complaints here! She weighed 8 lbs 14 oz and was 20 inches long.

As of right now (Tuesday and 2:30 pm), Noah has not met his baby sister yet. We think he has a little stomach bug, so we don’t want to bring him to the hospital just yet. Last night Rick stayed home with Noah and my Mom stayed with me and Faith at the hospital. This morning, Rick and Mom did a shift change, so Mom is spending time with Noah. If he’s doing better this afternoon, we might bring him to the hospital tonight to meet his baby sister.

We will be able to come home tomorrow, so that will be nice. I’m sure it will be an adjustment to get used to a newborn again. I just hope that Noah doesn’t bury his sister in all his Hot Wheels and trains!!

I’ll be adding more pictures, but for now, here are the pictures we have so far.
