Our Bundle of Joy

She is here and we are in love :) Things couldn't have gone smoother for our little girl to enter into the world. We are so extremely blessed! I scheduled an induction because Matt was out of town and we wanted to get him home for the birth! Wednesday night Matt came home and Thursday morning we went to the hospital bright and early. I think it may have been more nerve wracking KNOWING that I was going in to have a baby, rather than just waiting to go into labor. I was pretty nervous that morning. It seemed so surreal that we were going to have this little girl, it just really hadn't registered fully with me that this was it. In fact, after getting the paperwork behind us and putting the IV in, I think it settled in what was really happening and I started to black out. All the sudden I couldn't see Matt in front of me, he was a blur. Thank goodness for oxygen; I kept it close by after that!

So at 8 a.m. the doctor broke my water, and my little girl was in my arms at 10:29 a.m. 2.5 hours start to finish... oh baby, I'll take it! It was so different this time around with how quickly she came and how peaceful and smooth everything was. I couldn't believe how lucky we were to have things go so well. We had some awesome nurses and doctor and were so well taken care of. It really was a beautiful morning.

Little Mesa Marie came out screamin! We were glad to know her lungs were working :) She was so little- just 6 lbs. 14 ounces. Brooke was over 8 lbs, so it was really different to see such a little petite babe. They let me hold her for such a long time before they cleaned her up. Matt and I just stared in awe at such a perfect little bundle.

Game time!

It really was a peaceful morning ;)

 A family of four! 

I'd say we are all adjusting pretty well to having a new baby in the house. It's overwhelming for sure, but it's so worth it! I'm so lucky to have Matt by my side. He is so good with his daughters and is always willing to help in any way he can. He is extremely patient and loves his family. We love him!

 Story time

Brooke loves Mesa. She loves to give her kisses, help change her diaper, and give her bottles. 

We love having this sweet little spirit in our home. She truly is a gift from Heaven. She is such a good baby; never fussy or irritable, just happy and content sleeping and eating the days away. 

We are spoiled.
