My water broke about 3AM Saturday morning, shortly after Chad got home from work. We called Labor & Delivery and they told us to come in. We got to the hospital about 4AM and I was admitted. It was a long day, and she was finally born at 5:45PM on Saturday, October 18th. I was completely surprised that it was a girl, we were all so convinced that I was having a boy. Even the nurses thought so - based on the heartbeat. Chad decided it was going to be a girl a couple of hours before she was born, because the nurse was commenting on the amount of hair she had and his Mom brought in a little blue teddy bear right as I was starting to push. I won't go into any detail on the whole labor process - thankfully it is all worth it once you hear that first cry and they put your baby on your chest.
She came in at 8 pounds, 2.8 ounces and 22 inches long - I don't know how she ever fit in my belly! She also has a full head of dark hair......
Pictures from her birth day.....
Cute little feet!

That is all I have for now, hopefully I will be better at keeping this updated now!
