Here she is!!






Yes, yes, she has A LOT of hair. All the more reason for me to put bows and ribbons in it!! We've had a great week and I'll post more pictures soon. As far as details go, here are the stats:
February 1 (Her due date, of course, silly little girl.)
3:00AM - Wake up with strong contractions, 5 minutes apart. Ain't no messing around this time, it's for REAL.
3:20 - wake up Mark, call doctor.
4:00 - call both sets of parents, all are on their way.
4:46 - my mom and dad arrive, we leave for the hospital leaving my dad behind to stay with Ben.
5:00 - arrive at hospital, get check out, I'm 5 centimeters dilated.
~ sometime in here Mark's mom arrives, she made very good time coming from Simi Valley. ~
5:45 - HALLELUJAH my epidural arrives.
6:18 - water breaks while talking on the phone to my brother Jason. It was the funniest thing.
6:44 - BABY ADDISON SARAH MAKES HER GRAND ENTRANCE!!!
That's what I'm talking about folks, a less than 4 hour labor and delivery. (Of course I say that but then I'm kindly reminded of the weeks of contractions I had, so really my labor was three weeks long, but who's counting. :) ) There's the low down. More thoughts to come...

In a Nut Shell...

Saturday afternoon, 2pm, got home from Costco and thought I might be going into labor. Troy woke up from his nap at 3:30, sensed what was going on and was not too happy about it at all. Thinking it was pretty early, but not want wanting to take any chances, we left for the hospital a bit before 4 o'clock Yep, too early. Walked the halls for an hour which produced more of these... Which felt like this... And at 8:42pm they led to this... We are so thrilled to add a precious baby girl to our family We love you Mia Joy! (7lbs 2oz, 18.5" long)

I know that people come from good places and the intentions behind their comments are never bad, and sometimes they're actually funny, but sometimes I just want to say, um, really? Is that the BEST thing you can think of to say? Here are some of my faves from last week... "I'm going to un-friend you on facebook because you do not look like you just had a baby a week ago." - sorry? "What's her name? ... Oh I know SO MANY Mia's. Like, SO many." - great. "Are you guys finished yet? Is there some literature out there I can get for you (to teach you about prevention)?" (This one is my favorite) - "I'm the oldest of three and I am SO glad my parent's didn't have a fourth." - um... okay. This is the one I hear from almost everyone, it's not necessarily a bad thing to say, I just get it A LOT, "Two boys and two girls? Oh, the perfect family." Does that mean before Mia we had an imperfect family? I also hear endle

Crafty Me

I'm pretty excited because I'm not crafty, at all, but when I saw this idea on my new favorite crafty blog I got all giddy because I thought, "I can do that!" and so I did. And since my kids ARE crafty, go figure, I had all the stuff to make them on hand - yippee! All I had to do was buy the goodies that make the wings, which only cost me a dollar (thank you Dollar Tree!). I put them in the kid's little Easter buckets. I hope they like them as much I do. :-)
