Hello, Lucy!

Lucy Sun Vargo

January 12, 2018 // 5:21 pm
6 lbs 15 oz // 20″ long

As I sit down to write this, our sweet Lucy Sun (sounds like soon, also my mom’s middle name) is 3 weeks old. 3 weeks! When they tell you that time flies with a little one, it’s truly no joke. Like clockwork, as each week passes by, I cry happy tears and say to Scott, it’s been 1 – or 2 or 3 – weeks since we met this perfect nugget. How did we get so lucky? Our biggest thanks! to all of you for your kind words, emails and messages since we shared our news. You made us smile so hard.

Lucy’s Birth Story | 3 AM

I always told Scott that I had a feeling our girl would come before her due date, and she did by 4 days. During the 39th week of pregnancy, we took extra long walks with the pups and ate spicy foods, and each evening as we tucked ourselves into bed, we would say, will tonight be the night? We were so excited to have her join our family that our difficulty sleeping was a result of our own giddiness. Finally – 3 weeks ago, sigh – I awoke to a small cramp in my stomach at 3 am. When it happened again, I began timing them, and they consistently stayed 15 minutes apart until around 5 am. At this point, I woke up Scott, and in my most calm voice, I said, it might be today. I remember feeling a chill throughout my body. Saying those words aloud had us both grinning from ear to ear.

8 AM

By 8 am, we had both showered and packed up the hospital and dog bags. The contractions were harder to talk through, and by now, they were consistently 5 minutes apart. We called our doctor, and she gave us the green light to come in, at which point, we both laughed and cried, and we did our best to not get too excited – just in case it was a false alarm. On the drive to the hospital, I remember looking out my window and watching the cars on their morning commute. I watched the drivers sip their coffee at stop lights, and I watched as they swerved to miss the same pot holes we had memorized from our weekly doctor appointments. How strange, I thought, that they’re going to work, and we might have a baby today! I must have said it aloud, because it made Scott smile.

9 AM

We made it to Northwestern Triage by 9 am, and within that first hour, it was determined that I was dilated to 3.5, and it was time to move up to Labor & Delivery. Up until this point, I was convinced it would somehow be a false alarm, but in an instant, it all became very, very real. Everything that happened after that point felt momentous. I’m being pushed in a wheelchair up to L & D!, I thought. They’re showing us our room! They’re telling us how to use the remote control! It was all so wild, and I vowed to remember every detail.

10 AM

I have the most fond, warm and fuzzy memories of being in the delivery room. I had no idea what to expect, and aside from a couple of birthing classes we had taken in December, my assumption was that having a baby would happen quickly, with several doctors in the room. There would surely be blindingly bright lights, and without a doubt, there would be a lot of screaming. Instead, we were greeted by two smiling nurses who remained with us throughout the day. They dimmed the lights, and we watched the prettiest snow fall outside. (Should we name her flurry?, we joked.)  I opted for an epidural to ease the contraction pain, after which, I zoned out to a Friends marathon on the television (best day ever!) and took a short nap.

3 PM

Around 12 pm, my water broke on its own, and in-between sleep and wake, I was greeted by my doctor later that afternoon. At 3 pm, she said, Kim, you’re fully dilated. Let’s have a baby today! I cried. Scott cried. (Are you sensing a theme?) Our nurses took over, and when I began pushing at 3:30, everything felt… Serene? Calm? They eased off of my epidural so that I could just barely feel my contractions again, and with our nurses and Scott in the room, I began pushing. On a funny side note, Scott reminded me that we had brought our portable speaker in case I’d like to hear music. Between contractions, we shuffled through Spotify playlists, testing everything from Sam Cooke radio to Sturgill Simpson. I thought I wanted something soothing and familiar, but nothing felt right. On a whim, I suggested Chromeo. And so as the story goes, we met our Lucy girl to the pumped up tunes of Fancy Footwork. (Ha!)

5 PM

For the last 30 minutes of pushing, our doctor came back to check on our progress. She said, you’re doing it, Kim! Two more pushes and you’ll be holding your baby! Now, when I say that we ‘cried,’ in every other point of this story, I mean that our eyes got misty, and I had a few tears – the silent kind that roll down your cheek. But this. This time, we both really, really cried. Like, ugly, red-faced bawling. I began crying so much, that those final pushes felt impossible. We had waited so long to get to that exact moment. A few minutes later, in my haze, I asked our doctor, is she here yet?, to which she replied, Kim, look down, meet your baby. It was 5:21 pm. There she was.

The Next Day

Our experience with the team at Northwestern was outstanding. Our first day with Lucy was a sunny one, and our recovery room was filled with the warmest, most beautiful light. We took countless photos (with our Instant Camera, too!), and we spent the entire morning by the window, watching the ice break along Lake Michigan and holding our girl tight. The nurses slipped in and out invisibly, giving us privacy and offering up pain medicine before I realized I needed it.

We talked about who she looks most like, and after examining all the teeniest, tiniest details on her body, we ultimately agreed that she’s a fifty-fifty split. Her skin is rosy like Scott’s, but her eyes resemble my own. As every hour passed, we changed our minds on whether or not she has dad’s lips, and I apologized to her for inheriting my lack of eyebrows. Only one of her itty bitty ears comes to a slight elfin-like point, which was passed down from her grandpa, my dad.

That first full day was so tremendously special, and I have spent almost every day since recounting every minute of it. On her one week birthday, I couldn’t stop crying while I nursed her. I told Scott that all I wanted most in the world was to go back to that recovery room, and relive Day One. Why?, I asked. Why do I want to go back to the hospital? To which Scott replied, because it was where we finally got to know Lucy. That whole day was only ours. 

Lucy’s First Weeks At Home

Most of our family lives out of town, and for the first two weeks of Lucy’s life, our home was filled with three sets of grandparents. Somehow, hours would fly by, and all we had done for the day was stare at Lucy, squeeze her toes and nibble her fingers. When she opened her eyes, we all coo-ed and acted like children ourselves, and when she squeaked like a bird, we all laughed and asked, did you hear that?!

Slowly, Lucy has been venturing out into the world! She’s a busy lady, with pediatric appointments to meet, coffee dates to woo and conservatories to discover. Scott is the proudest dad I’ve ever seen, and to watch her with him has my heart exploding into a thousand pieces.

Many of you have asked about Jack, CC and Libby, and after a bit of a learning curve, things are going well! It was a bit rough for Jack in the beginning (between baby and visitors, there was a lot of change in his home), but I’d like to dedicate an entirely separate post on the topic as an update to our pre-baby training.

Welcome, our sweet Lucy! We are so in love, and we can’t wait to watch our lives unfold with you in it.

  • jane2.3.18 - 8:16 AM

    I loved this story so much. Thank you for sharing it with us. A lot of it spoke to my experience – I remember driving to the hospital for my scheduled c-section, and knowing I was having a baby at 10 am. I looked at everyone around us and thought – “how can they be going about their lives? We’re having our baby!!” :)ReplyCancel

      Right?! Crazy how the world keeps moving during some of the most insane moments of our lives.ReplyCancel

  • 'col2.3.18 - 8:38 AM

    Oh, her everything! Her little leg wrinkles! Her bright eyes! Her buttony little nose! Kim, Scott, I was hoping so hard for a lovely experience for you and I’m glad you got it. The tiny baby years are well behind me now, but I remember them as hard and amazing. I don’t know how to squee enough for you. I hope the next few weeks are fantastic, that you get lots of rest and good food, and that help in whatever form you need it comes your way. The six-week mark (ish) when she starts REALLY REALLY following you, smiling, and expressing her *social* needs as well as her physical ones is just ahead and it’s so cool. Thank you for updating us; take as much time as you need to just rest and get used to being a bigger family.ReplyCancel

  • So special! She’s beautiful!

    I’m about to have my second baby girl in early March and my fingers are crossed my delivery goes as smoothly as yours sounded! My first one with my first daughter (while everyThing was ultimately fine) was not so smooth as my epidural only worked on 1/2 of me. Eek! Makes a huge difference if that thing kicks in fully! So basically I had pain free labor on one side of my body and natural labor on the other side. Not super serene. But we had a healthy and perfect baby girl the first time around so that’s the most important thing.

    Soak it all up – it does go so fast. My first is 17 months and I can’t even picture her as a tiny little peanut anymore as she runs around the house dancing. :)ReplyCancel

    • Kim2.3.18 - 10:31 AM

      Wow, that was one of my biggest fears! I have slight scoliosis and the anesthesiologist had a hard time at first finding my ‘center’ … thank goodness it functioned perfectly in the end. Best of luck to you and your growing family, Kyley!ReplyCancel

  • Katherine2.3.18 - 10:37 AM

    Ahhh, congrats Kim and Scott and Lucy! I read this as I am snuggling up with my 4 week old baby girl, so I can relate to everything you’ve said. What a beautiful birth story! I got misty-eyed at the pics of your gorgeous girl. Enjoy every minute of this time – it’s so fleeting and the word precious has new meaning, doesn’t it?
    Thanks for sharing your story as always.ReplyCancel

    • Kim2.3.18 - 10:40 AM

      Aw, congrats to you as well, Katherine!ReplyCancel

  • Julia | Chris Loves Julia2.3.18 - 10:53 AM

    I soaked up every word, feeling and picture in this post. I’m so glad you shared! Lucy is impossibly sweet and I wish we were there to take her all in in person–new babies have the ability to melt every other seemingly important thing away.

    Also, you’ll always look back on that day. Chris and I still often recount the days each of our girls came into this world. It’s such a surprise every time. Just yesterday, we drove past the hospital on our way home and talked all about the day I went into labor with Polly. It’s so surreal like you said! Everyone else is having a normal day–and we had a baby!ReplyCancel

    • Kim2.3.18 - 12:57 PM

      You’re so right about everything. Love you!ReplyCancel

    What a beautiful story. For weeks after my daughter was born, I remember wanting to go back to the hospital so badly. It took a while to realize why, the same reasons you listed. We also struggled to have her, I like to think it brought a different meaning to finally meeting her. Hold that baby tight and soak it up. My baby just turned two. That probably feels like a lifetime away for you, but it happened in an instant :)ReplyCancel

    Seeing your L&D room pictures made me cry. I delivered my sons there in 2015 & 2016. We just moved from Chicago back to California and leaving the city of their birth, and not seeing the place they came into the world, was the hardest for me. I bawled like a baby the last time we drove by the hospital. It’s so magical, so special. I will never forget the days they came into the world.ReplyCancel

    Congratulations on your precious addition to the family! Your story and pictures made me tear up and brought back such wonderful memories of my first daughter’s birth story. From that odd feeling as regular life goes on around you, to your first tearful photo with your baby, to that warm and cozy feeling as you spent that first day getting to know her, it’s all so beautiful and I can remember my own experience all so clearly (almost 14 years later!). Thank you for sharing and helping me relive what was truly one of the best days of my life! I wish you all the best and am so excited for your family!ReplyCancel

    Oh my gosh! I saw your nursery reveal and thought WAIT I missed the birth announcement then frantically found it. Omg Kim, what a story and thank you for sharing. Becoming a mom has been the single most important thing in my life and it makes me ball reading stories of people I know becoming parents as well. Welcome Lucy, you are so perfect and we can’t wait to get to know you too!ReplyCancel

  • Amy2.9.18 - 12:34 PM

    Kim and Scott,

    Huge congratulations and much love to you all! This post had me tearing up :)! I have been a reader for years, (I’m the reader who sent you the link for the same headboard as yours, with the awful matching dresser, on CL) but had unwittingly fallen out of that habit.
    In January I found myself recalling the joy of reading your blog and looked you up on IG. It was within 2 days of you posting about Lucy’s arrival. I didn’t even realize you were pregnant! Apparently I had last read you guys consistently in April 2017 and missed many posts including your pregnancy announcement. I felt like such a bad reader friend! I cried happy tears seeing that post.
    I am beyond thrilled for your growing family and to know “The Scary Room” is now a place of light, love, warmth, comfort, and coziness for your baby girl.
    Many blessings to you all. I will try to maintain the habit of checking in and checking up, so as not to miss anymore life milestones for you all.
    Hugs, love, and continued happiness to you!
    ~AmyReplyCancel

    TEARS!

    It’s so surreal – the whole experience where you watch the world and think “how are they unaware that a BABY could be coming out any minute?!?!” It was also surreal to leave the hospital and see that the world felt so different. Because it continued without you!

    I used to get nostalgic and a little eye-tingly whenever I passed by my hospital, too. It’s a place of such joy and such crazy experiences!ReplyCancel
