Evelyn Kay Friesema was born on 4/2/14 and was a big girl weighing in more than her big brother Ben. Evelyn weighed 9lbs 12 oz and was 21 inches long!!! I was in shock at her weight as so was my dr as she anticipated Evie would be smaller and wouldn't hit 9 lbs.. Such a big girl! I think she might have my complexion and not be so pale as Ben. Eye color?? not sure yet. But she has some strawberry blonde hair like Ben and Daddy. She has a perfect round head like Ben and looks a ton like him as a newborn.
Evelyn Kay means "pure life" which is fitting. Evelyn is a name I always liked and it grew on Jon and I also lovethat my middle name "Lynn" is a part of it. Her middle name Kay is my mom's middle name. We plan to call her "evie" or "Evie kay" for her nicknames. I like names with nicknames probably because Amy is a short name!
Everything went smoothly overall for my csection and it was a world of difference compared to Ben's. Recovery already has been so much better and it so nice to know what to expect the 2nd time around.
Evie is a good baby, nurses well which is a huge blessing, and sleeps alot. Hoping for better success with nursing this time around. I feel like she might be a little more laid back than Ben :) My parents have been a huge help staying at our house through today and returning next weekend when Jon has 2 days of training in the middle of his 3 week leave. Evie is just perfect... so adorable, healthy and such a blessing. I am loving dressing her up in all the cute girl outfits, hats and headbands. Ben has been great with her too and is very curious about things but loves to talk to her. I couldn't be more pleased with our adjustment so far.
Praise God for his amazing blessings in our life. No greater miracle than the birth of a healthy baby.
All Glory to God!
