ADDISON'S BIRTHDAY!!!

August 21, 2008, Thursday, at 4:32 am we welcomed our new baby girl, Addison Grace, into our family!!! This is her first picture. She is of course absolutely beautiful. It seems like we have waited so long to see our baby girl, but then again it seems like it went by so fast! She weighed 7 pounds 1.4 ounces, 18 7/8 inches long, and has blonde brown hair. We couldn't be happier and she couldn't be more perfect....of course!!! We are so blessed. For all those curious about my labor, I started noticing that I was having regular '"pains" radiating from my back to my stomach at 6:30 pm Wednesday that were consistent and started getting closer together. By 12:37 pm my water broke at home in bed! Off to the hospital we go. I got admitted at ~1:30 am and was ~3-4 cm dialated. By 3:30 am I was 10 cm and pushing!!! No epidural or any drugs of any sort! Proud me! I never freaked out for all of you who know me so well...believe it or not! At my surprise my body was doing what it needed to do...go figure, all those worries and fears of mine! By 4:32 am Addison came into the world head and arm first! All I remember saying is "My baby girl, my baby girl! I just had a baby!" What an amazing rush. :)
