Delaney Rae

She is here! Our precious little baby girl made her debut November 20, 2011 at 12:42 pm. She weighed 7lbs 11oz, and was 21". I went into the hospital for my scheduled induction at 7:30. By 8:30 I got the IV started and pitocin going, epidural around 10:30 and I was fully dilated by 12:30. WOW. Could not ask for a better labor than that! I pushed a couple of times and poof, I am a mom of 3! Delaney surprised us with her dark hair, but resembles her brother mostly. We are so in love with her! She is 5 weeks old, and so far life with 3 has been wonderful. We were fortunate enough to have Andy's parents in town for her birth. They stayed 10 days and were a huge help. We enjoyed a great Thanksgiving with them as well (check back for another post on that). After they left, my parents arrived to spend some time here too! It was so fun for the older kids to have their grandparents here to spoil them. I have been on my own without family for about 10 days now, and I have managed to make it through okay so far! Delaney is a good baby, and the older kids are doing well adjusting. Here are a bunch of pictures from the past 4 weeks, including one of me the morning of delivery! WOW. It's sort of sad to think I will never be pregnant again, but I am so excited that our little family is complete and we are excited to continue on this journey of parenthood with our 3 little munchkins!
