My daughter, Melody, was born on January 14th, in the evening. This is a photo of her after they cleaned her up and gooped her face full of that antibacterial goop. (Not a glamour shot moment after birth.) Things in the delivery room didn't go according to plan and they had to switch gears and bring me into surgery for a C-section (Cesarean).We are now home, both safe and healthy. I need more rest from the surgery, so this is it for now. Thank you to everyone who commented and gave me well wishes. I really apreciate it, especially since it was a scary day for DH and I. Check back next week for more photos of my cutie pie.

Can you believe you're now able to HOLD your daughter in your arms?! Is it surreal? Is it as if you've never been without her? What's it like?
Sorry to hear the birth didn't go as expected. I hope you have a speedy recovery. Though, I'm pleased the two of you are home safe and healthy.
BTW - How do the furry members of the family feel about the new addition?

Yeah Oiyi! I've not been online much lately, but I've been thinking about you and the baby. I'm so glad Melody is here safe and sound :) Congratulations to you and your Husband!! She is beautiful.
Oh my goodness, where have I been?
Welcome, sweet Melody!!!
Congratulations Oiyi & family!
Congrats. She's beautiful. What a blessing she is well and you are recovering. I worked in Labor and Delivery for 8 years. I try to tell girls (without scaring them) that they need to take advantage of modern medicine and deliver under the best possible circumstances because you never know when things will become frightening in an otherwise normal pregnancy/labor. I myself had twins, one vaginally and an emergency c/section for the 2nd twin. Take it easy and be good to yourself. Its hard with a new baby but pamper yourself as much as possible. Take advice from one who knows. Only do things for you and the baby you have to do and rest, rest, rest. Good luck.
oh gosh, she's so cute!!! i hope you're recovering nicely and enjoying your beautiful girl :)
She ISbeautiful, and she has a look in her eye that says she'll be able to handle whatever life throws at her.
Blessings on the three of you!

Congrats again! You won an award on my blog (Bella Knitting), check out today's post for details. (When you get a chance!)
awwwwwwwwwwwwww so cute!I had a c/s too and she's here safe and sound which is all that matters
I love the name...I grew up with melody as my friend and love it!
watch out your blog will be taken over by cute photos and we'll be demanding them
wishing you lots of happy memories ahead and getting to know your little one.
CONGRATULATIONS
Oh baby, oh baby, oh baby! She's here and almost ready to wear all of her new knits. I hope you get waited on hand and foot as you recoup from your surgery. And don't watch any funny TV shows or movies since you might bust a gut (ask me how I know--or don't).
Congratulations! Hope you're getting enough rest and recovering well!
Congratulations! She's beautiful :)
Congratulations! Glad to hear you are both home safe :)
Congrats, Oiyi! Melody is beautiful, goopy or not! I had to have a C-section as well, take it easy and DO NOT lift anything heavy. Be good to yourself (and your stitches!).
What a gorgeous baby. Best wishes. She is wonderful.
Congratulations!! She is so beautiful! Her face is the sweetest with those cute little puckered lips. Ahhh. Have fun, they grow up fast.
