5lbs 9oz - 17 1/2 inches
Cora came into the world 4 weeks and 5 days short of her due date. They tried to stop my labor but she was ready to make her debut! She did have some trouble breathing and she ended up staying in the NICU for a week. It was not the least bit fun. I do not know how parents endure it for months. God gave me minute by minute strength to get through it and I bawled my eyes out everytime I left the hospital..She was also face presentation when she came out, so her face was incredibly bruised for the first two weeks. Oh poor baby. It was sad looking!! She was born the day before the one year anniversary of my dad passing away. So, her birth was really a HUGE blessing to a REALLY hard weekend..Since she has been home, she has been growing like crazy. I'm not sure of her exact weight but she is definitely over 7lbs. So far, she is a pretty easy baby like Chloe was. Praise the LORD for that when it's your third child. She still wakes up quite a bit at night but when she is done eating she goes right back to sleep =)
Cade and Chloe love her to pieces and have been nothing but sweet to her..They actually argue about who gets to hold her first. But who am I kidding? They argue about everything..haha..
You should've seen their faces when we loaded her in the car to finally leave the hospital! PURE JOY was the look on their faces!! Poor Cade would cry when we left her and say, "NO, we have to take baby Cora home!" (break my heart...)
We feel ridiculously blessed by our gracious God to have three beautiful children and are so happy to share the news of her birth with you all!
