Genevieve Claire

She is here! I was induced at 9am yesterday morning. After a few short hours of labor and two pushes little Vieve came sweetly and easily here—a much shorter labor than with Emerson!

Here are her stats:

Genevieve Claire Cornelius

Born 7/7/11, 1pm

7 lbs. 14 oz.

19 inches long P1070361

P1070319

P1070310

P1070321

P1070335

P1070325

P1070340

I had the best nurse and midwife! They made the day such a wonderful experience!P1070327

Genevieve has a full head of hair like Emerson did, which is hard to tell in some pictures because the nurses are having us keep her hat on so she stays warm to keep her blood sugar up. We love her already and are snuggling with her! Emerson came this morning to meet her and he barely noticed her, but just wanted to come cuddle me. I missed him so much!

More to come soon! In the meantime, we can’t get enough of our little girl.P1070354

She is adorable! I can't wait to hold her (someday... sniff, sniff).

You look amazing and perfect - nothing like any post labor photo I've ever seen!

Congrats on an easy delivery and a healthy little girl. I love her already. :)

Oh! Those pictures are so, so sweet. I just want to come hold her and kiss those sweet little cheeks.

Seriously. You look amazing. Like the kind of pictures you see in magazines (are their birthing magazines?) of post-labor women & you think there is NO WAY a real human could have gone through labor and still look that good.

Congrats! :)

I'm just going to pretend like I didn't bawl through this entire post! I am SO thrilled for you and your little family and I totally understand the feelings you are having about Emerson... Lola was the same way when she came to visit. Can't wait to meet this beautiful little dolly of yours! Love you!

What a beauty and I will never get over how great you and others look in your photos right after giving birth. Are you kidding me? I like that her weight was her due date. Emmerson's legs look so long in that first pic of him. I showed my husband, because he is just so different than River's chubby legs. I hope your recovery is as quick as your labor.
