Introducing Lily Rene Young


On tuesday morning our very good friends, Kris and Amber, started the process of labor and at 8:09 pm, Amber gave birth to their sweet little daughter Lily!
She weighed 7 pounds and 7 ounces and measured at 20 and a half inches long! Since Amber had to be induced we thought she would weigh more so we were suprised to see she did not come out over 8 pounds.
We were waiting at home to see if the happy parents would rather us wait or go to the hospital but they told us to come over. So we threw on some clothes and grabbed some food and headed over there.
When we got there the happy grandparents were there and had been there a while and left a little after we got there.
Even with all of us in the room there, Lily was just sleeping away all bundled up in her little blanket.
While we were there we got to share in Lily's first bath and I have to say it was probably the cutest thing ever!!
She was not happy being moved out of her warm blanket and put into a tub when it was drafty in the room. But once the nurse covered her up with warm wash rags she immediately stopped crying. Anytime the nurse moved her arm or leg she would cry for a couple seconds while the nurse washed off the afterbirth and then immediately stop when the nurse would stop.
We got it on video but I don't think we will be sharing that since that is Kris and Amber's video.

We can't wait to see more of Lily!
