SHE'S HERE!!!!



She is here!! She was born at 6:00 pm, she is 7 lbs 10 oz, and 20 1/2 inches long. She has a darling little dimple on her left cheek, and dark hair. I can't tell eyes but they look like they will be blue! We are both doing great, and are so happy that it is over!

The other kids came up around 8:00 pm and gave her lots and lots of loves and kisses! Now we have until Tuesday to figure out what to call our newest little princess!

The miracle of birth is still so overwhelming to me. As they layed her on my tummy I couldn't help but get a little choked up! How blessed we feel to have another healthy "perfect" baby! Now Derek and I are ready for bed. He will go home and have the WHOLE house to himself, and a peaceful slumber, I will enjoy my hosptial "suite, until they kick me out on Tues. Loves and hugs!!

D- Day!!



So... today is the DAY! Delivery Day that is.... After walking on the eliptical for 45 minutes, and bouncing on my "ball" for another 30 minutes, I finally went to bed around midnight. Unfortunately I spent the night kind of sick. I don't know why, but I feel fine now. The many perks of being induced are: planning - the kids are all at my parents, house is clean, I am packed. At 6:00 am, I get up and shower, I get to SHAVE and put on make-up! Everything is in order.... Unfortunately, I called the hospital at 6:30am, and they (sadly) tell me to call back at 7:30 am. So as I am waiting, what do I do.... BLOG! I am anxious and excited. Hopefully they will get me in quick, because I require a long day on pitocin. So, as it approaches 7:30, I will go do last minute things, make sure I have everything for the hospital stay! Tune in soon for an update! I will post the info and pictures as soon as I am home! Until then, loves and hugs!
