After being on bedrest for two weeks due to high blood pressure, I was induced on January 27th at 37 1/2 weeks pregnant. Labor was long but the delivery was extremely quick and our perfectly healthy, absolutely beautiful Charlotte Aimée was born at 705p on January 27th weighing in at 7 lb, 5.1 oz and measuring 20 1/2 inches long.
This girl had the skinniest and longest legs, feet, and toes of any baby that I had ever seen! :-)
Her name...Trey loves names that have some sort of meaning to us. I like names that are strong, somewhat old-fashioned, and definitely not too trendy. Charlotte was one that we found in a baby book and both really liked. The name fit all of my criteria and it reminded Trey of North Carolina where we spent some of our favorite years. ;-)
For her middle name we were trying to come up with something French or something tied to one of our favorite cities, New Orleans. We decided on Aimée (pronounced Ay-may) which is definitely French and is my beautiful sister's middle name.
So there you go...Charlotte Aimée!
Our precious little girl did not exactly have the best timing. Charlotte was born on Thursday and Trey had a big annual surgery exam to take on Saturday. We were still in the hospital on Saturday so he had to reschedule it for Tuesday, 5 days after she was born. He was dealing with a hormonal wife, a newborn baby, and a huge test looming over his head...lucky man! He was amazing through it all and I am happy to report that he passed! :-)
She was the perfect newborn and had the most laidback disposition! Trey and I actually got quite a bit of sleep in the hospital because she was so content just being in the nursery sleeping or looking around! :-) She is definitely now not as quiet as the first couple of weeks but still very perfect and we love her to pieces!
