Our Favorite Visitors

Baby A (yes, we went with the 'A' name) and I had some wonderful visitors at the hospital, but my favorites were these little guys. Grandma and Grandpa L brought them over to meet their new sister on Monday night. I was so excited for their visit, and they were wonderful. Well, J-boy had me jumping (don't squash your sister, don't jump on the bed, don't jump on ME, etc), but K was just mesmerized by A -- she still is. It's so sweet! Aren't they the cutest? (no, of course I'm not biased!)

Meet the baby!!

Here she is! Wow! Good thing I snuck that prego post in on Saturay!

We haven't decided on the name yet, but she's responding well to angel and sweetheart. :)

I had contractions all day Sunday, about 4 pm I decided she was going to make it before midnight. So I cleaned the house! If I was going to 'labor' on the Sabbath, I might as well get a clean house out of the deal! :)

I packed my bags (K packed her own and J-boy's bags w/o much supervision - I sure hope they have what they need!!), Joseph was making dinner, so I hopped in the bathtub to relax. There are few things I enjoy more than a bubble bath with music, so I indulged and basked in lavendar scented bubble bath and Chopin Nocturnes. And, of course, shaved my legs. :) When I got out of the tub things sped up a little faster than I'd anticipated -- we left the kids with our fabulous neighbors to wait for Grandma and Grandpa and headed to the hospital at 7:30. My nurse-midwife made it in to check me at 7:55, and our little lady made her grand appearance at 8:01!! Kind of surreal!

We're doing really well - she's perfect! I can't wait for K and J-boy to come meet her. :)

Ultra Ultrasound

We got to go take pictures of our baby yesterday - K was sure it was a girl, and J-boy was sure it was a boy. The rest of us didn't have a clue. :) Here's what the technician discovered:
