Truly Blessed

Sadie Adrianne joined our family Sunday afternoon at 12:46. What a wonderful day we had. I woke up early Sunday morning to some pretty consistent contractions. I was pretty sure that my body was getting ready to have a baby so I got Matt up. He went and filled our car for my mom, watered the lawn, and we both showered and got ready. My contractions were getting closer and stronger so we decided to go to the hospital. We dropped Sienna off to play with Audrey and much thanks to Kiera and James for watching her all day. I was already to a 4 when I got to the hospital and not too much longer a 7. I then received an epidural and my doctor broke my water about an hour after that. Things went very quick after my water was broken. I only had to push literally 3 times. In fact, the nurse told me to stop pushing because the doctor wasn't in the room yet. The doctor came in, one push, and Sadie came out.

Isn't she beautiful? She weighed 7 lbs 12 oz and measured 19 3/4 inches long.

Happy Family

No spinal headache! Can't you tell by the smile on my face? I have felt so great. It was so nice to be able to go to the bathroom, shower, and walk around myself. The nurses were shocked to see me walking around within a couple hours of having Sadie but I had so much energy. I even took phone calls while getting stitched up and I wouldn't let them push me around in a wheel chair.

Did I mention that my mom arrived to the hospital 14 minutes after delivery? Kiera dropped her off at the hospital straight from the airport and she walked up to the room right as they were cleaning Sadie and stitching me up. Talk about perfect timing.

Daddy and his girls. Sienna is so uncomfortable around doctors and it took her a little while to warm up to being at the hospital. She got to spend the past couple days at home with grandma.

Beautiful Sadie. She really looks like a chubbier version of Sienna.

Proud Daddy

Look at that hair. She looks so much like Sienna did as a baby but with very dark hair and much more of it. Sadie also has very long fingernails and has managed to scrape up her face a little bit. Sadie is an amazing eater and has nursed so well. We are so happy to be home. We were ready to go yesterday morning but our pediatrician likes the babies to stay at least 36 hours which was midnight so we had to stay until this morning. We all got up early this morning to get showered and ready to come home. Although we were ready we had to hang out for a few hours until my doctor came in and released me. We had such a beautiful experience at the hospital. Labor and delivery went so well and Sadie is extremely healthy. We were even able to sneak Sienna over to the other side of the hospital to see Jamie with the help of a nurse over riding the alarms Sadie would set off with her wrist band. Now we are home together with Sienna and grandma. It's all been puppies and rainbows!

This is Sienna at the hosptial. They do have a lot of similarities. Sienna's hair was and still is a very dark auburn red color when Sadie's is black. Sadie is also a full pound heavier than Sienna and they have different noses.

Matt and I are so blessed and grateful for our family. We wanted to thank everyone that has helped us out. Especially grandma for making perfect timing for the second year in a row and James and Kiera for watching Sienna and helping my mom get to us at the hospital. We can't wait to see the rest of our family and friends.
