Welcome Baby Scout

I am a little late with posting this but Scout was born on Sept. 7. She was 7 lbs. 3 oz. 20 in long.
The delivery is a long story, but to shorten it I had a placental abruption and they had to do an emergency c-section. It was very scary! Scout had to spend a few days in the NICU due to losing so much blood. After receiving a blood transfusion and antibiotics she rallied and was able to come home with me the evening of the 10th. We are so blessed that things worked out the way that they did. She is healthy and strong and has brought so much joy and happiness to our home. She is such a sweet, beautiful, and good baby. She would sleep all night if I let her. Haven and Zeke are so smitten with her and want to help do everything for her and would hold her all day if they had their choice.
