My Baby Girl :]

Ash here.

Thought I'd drop by to say that yesterday, June 6th, Clary gave birth to Lillian Rose Jessica Anne Laura Lee Mckinnley.
Yes, we gave her a long name, but it fits her perfectly ;]

Most of this I posted on Clary's main blog-->Sincerely, My Love, so most is just copied and pasted. But the one on there is a little more...kid friendly ;]

It was a VERY long night, but we pulled through. Clary gave a vaginal birth, meaning no c-section or anything. Though Miss Lilly was about 11 days from her due date, she is perfectly healthy. A little small, but a healthy 6 pounds 12 ounces.


So you probably want to hear the labor story, eh?

Well, here's how it went:

Friday was a very warm day here in Washington.
Clary and I were running errands, enjoying the freedom that being both graduates is, and thought we'd visit my family back in the hometown. As we start to get ready to leave and all -me at the front door, Clary getting into the car- she freezes and coughs. I look at her, she laughs at me and nods. It was time. Then there may have been a few swear words as Clary told me to grab her bag, get her into the car, call my family, have them call our friends, all the while driving to the hospital about an hours drive away.
We made it to her third contraction, where the hospital instantly grabbed a wheelchair, and pushed her away. I was frozen a minute, until the nurse beside clary looked back and said, "Are you going to be present at the birth?" Clary answered for me going : Yes, that son of a bitch that did this to me is.
Haha, gotta love birth :]

I think you know the rest, Clary was in labor for a full six hours before she was fully dialated. Of course, I was right next to Clary the whole time, and it took a while for blood to reach my hand afterwards...and I was pretty prepared for the verbal abuse I was to get haha.
Let's say "I hate you"-"I'm going to kill you you mother-fucking bastard!" etcetera etcetera came from then on
But still, that doesn't bother my self-esteem....too much haha
After Lillian was born, they just stuck her in my arms...she was small, and she was crying quietly, but once she saw me....she smiled.

That was the best day of my life...right there...Seeing my baby girl, smile at me...


Lillian Rose is next to me now, in her hospital bed cradle, sleeping away. Clary...she's getting ready to leave the hospital tonight.

I best be off.

Best wishes, and keep reading,

Ash,
Clary,
and Lillian Rose
