The boys meet Peyton!

The boys got to come meet Peyton for the first time on Sunday morning !
They were both so excited and got to hold her it was really sweet, Shawn was great he said she had pretty hair and wanted to keep kissing her and Hunter was more laid back and just looked proud to finally have a sister.

Not the greatest pic of me but I loved the expression on Shawns face so I had to put it on here

Here is Hunter with his little sister

Once Shawn saw the baby and me he was more interested in the water faucet than us..

Peyton all ready to go home !

Shawn is in love with his sister he is constantly coming over and kissing her and wants to be near her or hold her, he doesn't even want to snuggle with me anymore its all about his sister !
So far so good everyone...of course I am very tired and sore but she has been great and slept great last night she only woke up to nurse twice !!
Today she has been sitting in her bouncy seat content to be left alone and I was able to eat my whole dinner without a peep from her !!
Thank you everyone for the well wishes and prayers we are so blessed !



Finally!

Our Daughter has finally decided to make her appearance !
Peyton Anne Margaret (last name) was born on January 17th

Friday night/Sat morning at 2am I woke up feeling like something was off I tried to go sit in the living room and couldn't get comfortable and then I felt like I was going to be sick so I woke up Gary and asked him to come sit with me I was a little scared because I didn't know what was wrong and then I started feeling contractions so we called my aunt and had her come watch the kids while we went to the hospital.
They almost sent me home but I told them if I was dilated to 3 and a half and having contractions I wasn't going home and the nurse took pity on me and let me stay, the labor wasn't as bad as I expected but it was very long and tiring the delivery was more painful than the last time I need to find who was my anesthesiologist was with Shawn and kiss him because this time around when they said all I would feel is pressure they lied it was definitely more than pressure !
Of course it was all worth it when we had her in our arms she was beautiful and my doctor and my nurses were so nice and Gary was helpful it was just an amazing experience !

Here she is weighing in at 7 pounds 15 ounces

This is when I finally got to see her I swear they took forever to clean her up and weigh her I didn't even know what she looked like for almost 10 minutes

When I decided it was going to be just me and Gary in the delivery room I was really concerned about not getting any pictures but our nurses kept picking up our camera and snapping pictures we didn't ask them at all to take any they just wanted to plus I think they liked our new camera lol
