My sweet girls

What an exciting week! Here are a few more pics. Suzanne, Clyde and Molly were helping all week with Farrah, and they just left today. We are really going to miss them. I have been feeling really good, and healing fast. Josh and I took Adra to Babies r Us today and we bought a double stroller, which is pretty exciting (well I think it is). Adra slept the whole time we were gone, which was really nice. Liana is in town with Lilly, and it is fun having babies in all different sizes around. I can't wait till christmas.....there will be babies everywhere! Well I hear Adra crying for mommy....time to nurse again. Love you all.

Happy Family

Adra is so perfect! Here are a couple more pics. She is nursing a lot, so i get to spend most of my day snuggling her....i love it. She is so little, and precious. Farrah loves to kiss her, and is very curious about the whole nursing thing. She has not been jealous of Adra at all (well at least not yet).


Farrah can not get enough of her baby sister.

Big Yawn!

Welcome Adra Mae

Well Adra Mae was born October 15th. I started getting induced with pitocin at 4:30am, and then at 8am they broke my water. I then got my epidural around 9am, and sweet little Adra was born at 12:16pm after only 20mins of pushing!!! It went really well. She weighed 7pounds 3.7ounces and was 19.5inches long. She seems so little compared to Farrah (who was 8pounds 10ounces and 20.5inches long) I was discharged from the hospital today at 11am, and we are so glad to be home. Farrah was very excited when she figured out that Adra was coming home with us. She just loves all over Adra, it is very sweet. We are doing a good job breastfeeding so far, it has been a lot more successful then with Farrah.
Here are some videos. For some reason the website will not let me upload pics right now, so I will try later

Tomorrow's the big day!

Tomorrow I am going to be going to the hospital at 4am to have my baby. I really can't believe it! Last night Farrah was up a lot, which is not like her. She wanted lots of snuggles, which Josh and I (taking turns) gladly gave her. As I put her back in her crib after rocking her for awhile, she finally decided she was going to go back to sleep. She looked up at me and smiled, blew me a kiss and waved good bye. What a sweetie. At that moment I just thought about how lucky I am. Farrah and Josh are my world, and tomorrow we will add another little baby into our family. I just feel so blessed. I am nervous about going to the hospital, because I will not have my baby Farrah with me. She will wake up Monday morning and her mommy and daddy will not be at home (I am sure she won't mind too much because Nona and Papi will be here). I am going to miss that little girl so much while I am in the hospital. If all goes to plan I will be in the hospital until sometime Wednesday, which will be two nights that I will not be home with my little Farrah. Farrah does not like it when I am at the doctors, she went to both of my ultrasounds and listened to the heart beat once, and she did not like mommy laying down and having a stranger touch me, so she will not see me until after the baby is born and I am unhooked from my IV. I just keep thinking about her reaction of seeing me with the new baby. I am sure she will want to kiss all over the baby, and hopefully me too. I guess I will find out her reaction soon. Wish us good luck. Last night was the last night to have a good nights sleep, and Josh and I were up most of the night with Farrah, I guess she was preparing us for the nights to come with the newborn. I can't wait for you all to see pictures of our new little girl.....I can't wait to meet her! Love you all.

Is the baby ever going to come!

Well I went to my last doctor's appointment today. I am now 3cm dialted and 50% effaced, so I am making some progress. We are just counting down the days. My blood pressure was a little high (only when i am standing), so I am supposed to lay down as much as possible. I hope we have the baby soon, I am so ready.

STILL PREGNANT

To my families disappointment I did not have the baby this weekend.....it would have been very nice, but i guess our little one is just not ready to make her appearance yet. I have been having random contractions, hopefully they be coming more frequent and consistent. I am really starting to get nervous about the whole thing, but also, I am so ready to meet this little girl.....i just want to hold her and kiss her. Suzanne, Clyde, and Molly came for the weekend, which was fun (although Suzanne didn't feel very good) We went and got pumpkins....Farrah had a lot of fun.
