Willa's Big Day Out














Daddy Post: We're currently at St. Vincent's stuck in a room that can't be larger than the dorm room I had at UO, but such an inconvenience is easily missed after the prolonged arrival of our little Willa "Billie" Catherine. She arrived yesterday at 6:33 AM weighing in at 8 lbs. 3 oz. and measuring at 20.5". Marty is doing exceptionally well and has been routinely visited by numerous staff to congratulate her on her conquest. This is notable considering that several of these visits are by those who aren't even involved with taking care of us. Evidently, a VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean) of 28 hours of labor that included 4+ hours of actual pushing and manually rotating a sunnyside up baby achieves legendary status around here. Willa's a champ and has been a real team player. Ruby has instantly assumed the big sister role and is already eager to show Willa the ropes. We're hoping to be out of here by tomorrow morning and are excited to share our new addition with you all.
