After a PAINFUL early morning wakeup call (also known as labor), we made our way to the hospital to meet our little baby girl! At 3am I woke my husband up and gripped his arm like there was no tomorrow… he rolled back over and said “Let me know when the next one comes.” Oh you WILL know! I’d actually been awake since 2am. Hubby went across the street and woke up our incredibly gracious neighbor, who put our son in one of their beds and off we went. Oh wait, no we still had to pack my bag, because she wasn’t due for another 2 weeks!
Well after a couple hours of difficult labor (Pain I have no desire to experience again!), our little girl was born at 7 pounds 4 ounces by C-section. Hopefully, I have some moments in the hospital to keep you up to date… I know I have a stack of giveaways to close, which I’ve conveniently trained my husband to do! Thank you for all your well wishes!

She’s adorable, congratulations! And guess what….you have another tax deduction for 2009! My Dad kidded me all his life that he was mad cause I gave them a false labor alert on Dec. 31st, then waited till Jan. 3rd to be born. He lost that tax money!
