Madelyn is here!!!

I am proud to announce that my sweet little girl made her grand appearance on
Sunday April 17, 2011 at 8:04 am weighing in at 8 pounds 14 ounces and measuring 21 inches long.
She is absolutely perfect!
She has a head full of dark brown hair to match her daddy and my nose.

Saturday evening I decided I wanted to see if I could put myself into labor, so I mowed half of the front yard and it seems to work! So, after timing my contractions for a few hours and finding that they were 3-5 minutes apart we headed to the hospital. My contractions kept up for quiet a while through the night. The Dr. was going to send me home but they found that I was having high blood pressure so the Dr. wanted me to rest through the night and have a c-section first thing in the morning. I didn't rest much in that terribly uncomfortable bed. When I got comfortable Madelyn would move and they would have to come adjust the monitor so they could get a heartbeat on her.

Here are some pictures while we were in the hospital. They are not in any order.
