Just before changing into my gown and hopping into the hospital bed to get connected to all the monitors... my face is pink in this pic because it was over 100 degrees outside! I was so hot by the time I got to the hospital!
Mad baby! This was moments after delivery and we found out she was a girl!
Full tummy-happy, sleeping baby... we were waiting for daddy to come and pick us up from the hospital and bring us home.Everything went well, I actually went into labor on my own after seeing the doctor on Wednesday morning. I stayed in Little Rock and 'walked around' (shopped!) until my contractions were consistent. I checked into the hospital around 1pm and called Hubby to come and meet me up there. My contractions stalled a little and the staff started some pitocin around 4:30pm and the doc broke my water around 5pm. Little Miss was born at 8:47pm weighing 7 lbs. 14 oz, 20 3/4" long.
We came home 24 1/2 hours after delivery (I was MORE than ready) and arrived home by 11:15pm. Today is my first day home with the baby and the kids are all so excited. I keep reminding them that she's not going anywhere and they'll all have plenty of time with her (to hold her, etc). They're all very happy to have another sister, hubby can't resist picking on the big kids for being so certain she was a boy.... hehe
She's a good baby. If her belly is full, she sleeps for a few hours (more than our other babies ever did!) and is generally quiet most of the time. Hopefully this weekend I can get pictures of all the children holding her and some more close-ups for you all to see.
Have a great weekend!

She is beautiful!! And you look great in that picture right before you had her!! I have been checking all day b/c I am excited to see her. SO...we DID pass by each other on the highway like I joked, b/c that is about the same time we got home last night too. So we probably passed about PB area or something! LOL
Glad you made it home safe!!! I don't blame your family one bit for wanting to hold her...I do too!

We really enjoyed having the kids in VBS this week. I had the baby - well youngest, now - in my class one night and the other daughters helped her with everything. I was so sweet to see them take care of her. You have a beautiful family! Hope that see you guys at church again soon and at our next 4-H meeting! – Amber
