I am feeling so blessed to have this sweet baby girl in our family! I will give you the quick (and "G" rated birth story) for those of you who have been asking!
We went to the hospital at 7 AM, I have never been so nervous in my life! Even though I've been through it before, I was a nervous wreck! Thank goodness to my amazing husband who was very supportive and helpful!!
My doctor broke my water at 7:30 am and after a few really bad contractions (I do not like pain) I got my epidural at 9:30, and a couple hours later at 11:46am, baby girl made her first appearance! First question was "is it really a girl?!" and next question was "is she healthy?"...YES- she's a girl and yes she is healthy!
Her big brothers love her so much! They were all very excited to see her and hold her- and the newness has not worn off yet!
Austin is loving that he is big enough to hold her by himself- and he is very helpful! I think he's gotten over the fact that we named her Zoe (he claims that he does not like that name!)He is very sweet to her and I think she might have his eyes (yea!) I am sad that he is the one who is gone to school all day! He likes to "tend" her when I have to do something for the other boys...
Cade has been asking A LOT of questions! He is very curious as to how the baby got out of my belly, why she can't eat apples, why my belly is "still so fat", and he can't keep his big lips off her face...I'm just glad he likes her! And I'm sorry if he teaches any of your children about the birthing process or about how a baby "eats"... (I think she looks most like cade...she's got his round head and nose- and think she'll have his hair color?...)
Dax has been very good with the new addition to our family. He loves his baby zoe and has been saying some funny things...
"when baby gets bigger she can ride my bike!" , "baby soooo tiny!", "look, I can shake baby" (as he is shaking her....oops)
I thought she looked most like dax in the beginning, but not so much now- I guess we'll have to wait and see!
Welcome to our family baby girl! We love you so much already and can't wait to see which one of your brothers you really do look like! (probably a good mix of all of them since none of my kids look alike!)
WE LOVE YOU!!
