HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LILY SO-HEE!

On Sunday, October 11, 2009 at 1:43 PM, Kate's baby sister, Lily So-Hee Weyant came into the world! Thankfully, Lily gave her Momma a relatively quick and easy labor and delivery. The nurse took this photo of Lily seconds after she was born as Appa cut the umbilical cord. When we left the house at 5:30 AM to go to the hospital, Kate sleepily asked Appa, "Why is the umbilical cord attached to the belly button and not the mouth??" Wonderful Uncle Mike Bodie drove to us in the middle of the night to watch Kate so we could go and welcome her baby sister. Lily So-Hee weighed in at 7 lbs, 3.7 oz and measured 21 inches, the same length as Kate at birth. The first thing Chris and I thought when we saw her was, "She looks just like Kate!" And then we thought, "She looks just like Emma!" The same shot of Kate after she was born. After some skin-to-skin and nursing time with Momma, Lily So-Hee was washed up and swaddled.
"Mom, enough with the flash, please!"
This is Kate on her birthday. Lily looks a little like her, doesn't she?

Kate and Nana are coming today to meet you! Happy Birthday, Lily! We love you and are so lucky to have you in our family.
