Her entrance was more dramatic than her sister's and I'm starting to wonder if this is a telltale sign of our future! Lydia's heart rate kept dropping with every contraction all the while I wasn't progressing as much as I should have been. I ended up on oxygen and had to change positions multiple times hoping that it would be more conducive for our girl and hope her heart rate would stabilize. At one point the nurses could not pick up her heartrate on the monitor for a good 2-3 mins: which seemed like forever. I thought we had lost our girl but luckily she was just hiding and after an hour long process of pushing sweet lovely Lydia was born healthy and perfect.
We are thrilled with her and so is big sister Grace. She loves her little sister fiercely and we have to watch them closely as Grace doesn't grasp how fragile Lydia is. She'll learn and I hope that she continues to love her as much throughout their lives.
I am absolutely smitten with my girls and love every ounce of our family. To have my two sweet beautiful ladies is a dream come true. ❤️
