She's Here!!

Well, most of you probably know...our latest arrival came on October 27th. Ok, ok.. maybe not by mother nature but I don't think I could have taken it any longer. I went into the hospital Monday morning to be induced. I was only 2 days from my due date. Believe me, I tried to get it done earlier but I couldn't convince the doctor enough. I even went in and had 2 massages and an adjustment but I guess she was just too comfortable in there!

Being induced wasn't bad at all. Infact, I wanted everyone to go on about their day and go to work and school. I figured since I was having her in town that I could just call them when things started to happen. Joe came around noon so it was good to have him there. He was taking the phone calls for me about the construction on the house. (Not really the best time to be calling me asking me what we wanted to do about the cement flat work : )) Anyway, things went really well with the delivery.

At 6:30 p.m. , PRESLEY MORGAN was born, weighing 7 pounds, 7 ounces and 21 inches long. She has really long fingers and toes, dark hair and chubba cheeks and boy does she have a good set of lungs. Right after she was born, she just let out a big cry! You wouldn't know that now though. She is the best baby. She hardly makes a sound. And her sisters definately LOVE her! The look on their faces when they came in to see Presley was priceless. I am so lucky to have 3 beautiful girls who will be my best friends forever!

Katie is such a great helper. She holds Presley whenever I need her to and is so willing to help me out. The other day she just got up and made muffins and hot chocolate for breakfast (all by herself). They were GREAT!! Alyssa can't get enough of her new baby. She loves to hold her and thinks she can do everything I can for the baby. She likes to help change diapers, and get anything that I need. Its great because I catch her just singing to her and Presley is mesmorized.

This was taken the other night around 1:00 in the morning. Alyssa had a really late nap and just wouldn't go to sleep. She was coloring her "homework" while I was feeding Presley and she finally said, "Ok Mom, now what do I do?" I told her to just lay down and rest her eyes for a minute and when I looked over, she was asleep so I just layed Presley by her and looked at them. There is nothing more peaceful than a sleeping child. But holy cow! Alyssa seems so big compared to her sister now. They definately don't stay little for long. Treasure every moment!
