Congrats to Sue and Quay!

Scarlett Bernice Sundahl Terry finally decided to make her entrance on Wednesday. I was going to say “little” Scarlett, but she was not little! She weighed in at 9 lbs!

I had been thinking about Sue constantly for the last couple of weeks. I know only too well how hard it is to see your due date come and go. I talked to her a few times, and she sounded great. She seemed positive, and had a really great attitude about the whole thing.

She ended up going almost 2 weeks over before they scheduled her induction on Wednesday morning. I thought about her all day Wednesday. I was so sad for her that she had to be induced. We had talked about what kind of birth she wanted so many times, and I knew that induction would make it hard to have the kind of birth that she wanted. As it turns out, she had contractions all night Tuesday night, and she ended up not needing the induction. She went in to the hospital in the morning, and delivered around 8:00pm at night. And she did it all natural. Way to go Sue, I knew you could do it!

Since Scarlett was born I have been thinking about them so much. I keep reliving the memories of my first few days with Emma. I remember how overwhelming it was for me, and how out of control my hormones were. I wish I could be there with her. Sue is like the closest thing I have to a sister. I feel like my sister just had a new baby, and I’m feeling kind of emotional about the whole thing. I want to be there with her too, but I know she has plenty of company. I’ve tried to call her a few times. I’m just so excited for her, and I can’t wait to hear all about the birth and how things are going…and of course I can’t wait to meet baby Scarlett. For now, I’ll just have to settle for cell phone photos.
