Lucky Friday the Thirteenth

     Oh, Happy Day.  Look at this cute bundle of joy that got delivered. Dan and Alyssa went in to the hospital that morning to try a version (where they try to flip the baby over so it can be delivered head down) but when they did it Milah's heart rate slowed way down so they flipped her back over. The Dr. was then worried that maybe the placenta might have been torn so they recommended a c-section then which is what Dan and Alyssa decided to do. Everything went well.
     It was hard waiting until Dan and Alyssa were ready for visitors (it felt like Christmas morning when you have to wait to see what Santa Claus brought you.) but we got down there that afternoon.

      I feel a special connection since I was born on a Friday the 13th too.  Mia was born on January the 13th so I am thinking that all of the girls should come on the 13th. It is now the luckiest of days for us.

     Milah was born very healthy at 6 lb. 4 oz. and 18-1/2 inches long.  She is sleeping and nursing a lot just like she should be.  Alyssa seems tired but happy too.  She looks great (see below) but can't use her stomach muscles yet.  They will be keeping her at American Fork hospital until next Monday anyway. Alyssa has Factor V Leiden which means her blood clots a little too easily so they will watch her a little closer and get her on some medications.
 
   What a little miracle a new baby is.
