Introducing

We welcomed the newest addition to our family on Tuesday night. Ezra and Georgia have both adjusted fairly well and love to give their little sister lots of pats and kisses. I'm doing just fine and have recovered well. I'm no where near adjusted to having three kids, but I assume that's something that comes with time...it does, right? Please tell me it does. Scarlett is just beautiful. She has lots of dark hair and those beautiful trademark Lifferth fingers and nails (look at Spencer's or his sister Heather's hands if you don't know what I'm talking about). I think she looks a lot like Ezra, only girlified and darkened, hence a lot like Spencer...or more accurately, Heather, who looks like a feminine version of Spencer. Scarlett's been a fairly easy baby so far and is a champion nurser. We'll see how long that lasts as she gets older. She just might end up a diva like her older sister. It's hard to believe there's now five of us in our little family, but we wouldn't have it any other way.

I love this picture because it shows all of her dark hair

(gotta love those scrunchy, odd-looking newborn expressions;)
Right before we left the hospital
This was taken yesterday afternoon after most of her swelling has gone down, so it's a pretty accurate idea of what she really looks like

Oh, Whit - she's beautiful!!!! And what an 'easy' birth ;) You deserve it, after Ez and Georgia's. And now you can say that you've tried labor three different ways. I wish we were closer - miss you tons! And that little face of Scarlett's almost makes me want another baby. Almost. :) PS I love her name.
OMGosh, I have been checking your blog every single day for the past week waiting to see if and when you had your sweet baby. but today,,, today I finally got to see her! oh she is beautiful! that hair is to die for I tell ya. OH, and ummm, Whitney, what in the world do you think you are doing with looking all gorgeous and all at the hospital? don't you know that is a rule, NO GORGEOUS BIRTHING MOMS ALLOWED!!!!
Anyway, congrats on your new addition.
p.s. it does get easier at some point, LOL.
Congratulations! She is absolutely beautiful and you all (you especially) look great! And thanks for posting all the details - I love reading about it! I'm so happy that everything went so well and that you are recovering so great. Good luck with everything and I look forward to pic and stories on what it's like to be a mommy of three!
Congrats! She is a cutie. I love the grumpy face pic. She looks ticked! Can't wait to meet her!
So beautiful and tiny! And you are looking great. Congrats Whit. Let me know if you need anything.
Now we can't be pregnant buddies anymore...
She's beautiful and you look great too. I'm glad you made it to the hospital in time (and made it to Subway along the way...) What a story!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!
I couldn't be happier that your sweet little Scarlett is here. She is truly beautiful and I can attest to everyone that you were truly a beautiful birthing mom!! You were beautiful that day and every day since. Congratulation, Whit. I love you and your sweet family of five.
Scarlett is so cute. I love you. I miss you and Ezra. Tell Ezra, Scarlett and Georgia and Uncle Spencer I love you. I love you, Auntie, very much. Have a great autumn. I love you. Bye.

COngratualtions Liffert Family!!! she is beautiful!! I love to hear birthing stories too and your take on contractions reminds me of me with Corbyn. I am glad everything went well for you though and congrats! Congrats!
She is sooo precious and you look fabulous, Whitney. Oh, and trust me...if you can crank out a kid drug free...you'll certainly adjust to having three; won't get EASIER per say...but you'll adjust well. Love ya.

Congratulations! She's beautiful, and you're my hero!
Congratulations!!! She is adorable! I think you picked a fantastic name by the way.
I am going to skip the gory details post....and just blissfully imagine that she was brought to you floating on a cloud steered by storks.
So when is kid number 4?
Whitney, she is beautiful!! Congrats on your new daughter!! It sounds like the birth went wonderfully! You look gorgeous in that picture, by the way - that shouldn't be allowed so soon after giving birth, LOL! :-D
Congratulations again!! :)
Congratulations!!! What a beautiful baby and family that you have. I love, love, love the name as Gone with the Wind is my all time favorite book and movie!!! Of course being born and raised in Virginia you can't help but love Southern things.

Congratulations!! She is Beautiful-and so are you, you look fantastic after just giving birth!!
I love that name btw-we wanted to use it with one of ours sometime but then we didn't think Charlotte and Scarlett would work??
As for adjusting to 3- I still am having a hard time. Good luck! :)
Congrats on the new addition to the Lifferth Family!!
She is BeAuTiFuL!!! Congratulations! I am glad to hear everything went so well. And, it is a good thing you didn't put off getting to the hospital any longer!
Aaah what a sweet baby! I especially loved the "necessary disgruntled old man picture"!
Congrats! She is darling! And I love that big bow on her tiny head. You look fabulous!
That's so exciting! I can't wait to meet her. Are you coming to Utah anytime for the holidays?
