....and we sure do love her!
introducing: Blythe Kimberly Scadlock
After a 23 hours of labor consisting of being in the hospital all night on the 10th, being sent home because I was not dilating (I might have muttered a few choice words when that happened! You just don't send a girl in labor home!), returning home and having my water break on the 11th, and finally having her on the 12th, Blythe made her appearance into the world on 12/12/10 at 2:56 AM. She weighed 7.6 lbs, is 19 inches long, and is healthy and as beautiful as we could have hoped for. We are seriously in love with this baby and more thankful to our Heavenly Father than we can even express. Sorry this post is a little after the birth of the baby, but I forgot how much work a newborn is, and finding time to blog is WAY harder than it was before.
Nate, minutes after she was born. Such a proud daddy.
This is the first time the kiddos were able to see Blythe. Gwen was in love, Beck...hmm...not so much (as is apparent with the look on his face!).
Don't worry, though, he warmed up to the idea of being a big brother pretty fast!
This photo is a little blurry (it was taken with my phone), but is their anything cuter than Gwen's expression? She is completely taken and crazy about her little sister!
And here she is at day 3, absolutely perfect! Love her!
Thank you to all our amazing friends here in Iowa City that watched our kiddos while Nate and I were in the hospital. We could not have done this without you! Actually, Blythe was born during a blizzard, and we are so grateful that we were able to get Gwen and Beck to our friends house in safety and get ourselves safely to the hospital in the process.
It feels so strange taking care of a baby that you does not require large amounts of meds, monitoring, and multiple daily doctor appointments, but we'd take her however she came! Welcome to our family, baby Blythe. We couldn't be more grateful to have you as our own!

Congrats Kim and family! She is so gorgeous! I'm glad she is here. And those pictures with Gwen and Beckham smiling are priceless! Maybe we'll get to meet her one day before we are living really really far away again. Hope you're feeling good and getting some sleep too.
Oh! my! goodness! I love these photos!! I literally laughed hysterically when I saw the one of Beck and Gwen with Blythe. His expression is so adorably "boy!" Looking sweetly overwhelmed. Love him (and all that hair!!!!)! The next photo of him is so precious. And Gwen is just too gorgeous for words, the picture of a perfect big sister. We're so happy everything went well for you. It was great chatting tonight! Love to you all. :)

Nicki Carter just shared your blog address with me. I have a heart baby who's 8mths old today. He's had 8 surgeries, 5 being open heart. He's hypoplastic right with a condition called Heterotaxy. Basically his hearts on the right side of his body, it's upside down and backwards in his chest as well as him having no spleen. Anyway, Your blog is great and congratulations on your beautiful baby girl.
Congrats! She is a doll.
I know it takes some getting used to not having meds to get ready or an ng tube to worry about. Soo different! We are so happy for you guys
Oh KIM!!! I feel like crying!
she IS perfect!
Congrats!!! congrats!!! Congrats!!!
Congratulations! She is beautiful, and I love her name...especially her middle name. Best wishes with everything!
