Schroeder Family

Lyndsee Dawn Schroeder arrived to our family on November 4th. We had a scheduled c-section bringing her to us a week before her due date and a day after my birthday. We weren't scheduled to be at the hospital until 3:30 and I spent much of the morning trying to get ready and keep my mind off the fact that I would be cut open later that day and off of food that I wanted very much to eat but couldn't. I got so nervous that I started getting very emotional. Once we were on our way however, the excitement really set in. She was born at 5:25 weighing 8 lbs 1 oz and was 20.5 inches long.This is Lyndsee right after being born. Not too happy about it.

I had heard that in Utah hospitals the siblings of babies being born weren't being allowed to visit at the hospital so I was relieved that that wasn't the case here. The kids looked like it was Christmas morning as they came into the room looking for their new present (baby sister). This particular picture may not show it but Reagan was quite excited as well and hasn't shown any issues of jealousy.

All the kids checking out the baby. Will was so stinking cute with his new sister and every bit as nurturing as his sisters towards her. He kept telling me how cute Lyndsee was and he couldn't wait to bring her home.

Here is my helpful sister who was able to take a break from the kids to come for a visit and a cuddle with her new little neice.

Getting to know you.

Eric was able to bring both Taylor and Will both individually to the hospital and Will was the lucky one who was with us when we brought the baby home. He was so excited to take part in bringing her home.
