Juniper is here!

Juniper Kay Blizzard McClure was born October 5th at 2:56pm. Weighing a whopping 10 pounds 1 ounce and measuring 21 inches long (which were Lotus' exact measurements too) and looking like a purple Juniper berry due to some bruising on her face from getting squeezed through the birth canal too quickly. Mom got to cut the umbilical cord and Dad did not even come close to fainting = success! We are feeling so incredibly lucky to have such a perfect, healthy baby and no NICU this time (yet)! Dr. Healy and everyone else for that matter were shocked that we had another 10 pounder. The ultrasound a week ago Friday said she was only 8 lbs 11 oz. Good thing she came a little early! Lotus got lots of "big sister" presents and her first question when she saw her purple face was "is she white?". Lo is doing great being away from Mommy and Daddy and enjoying her time with Mimi and PopPop. We can't wait to be together again as a new family of four!
