Liam and Ammon having adventures at the hospital Coming home outfit

I went in to get induced on Friday, Aug 28th, in the morning. I took a couple of pills that are supposed to jumpstart things and nothing worked. So I started pitocin around 3:30pm-ish and had the baby at 6:10pm. I went too fast for an epidural, but did get a different shot in the spine that numbed me up so much I felt like my legs and stomach weren't mine...I loved it! Aria was born sunny side up, and all in all we are fine and dandy and back home today.


The kids came to visit us while we were there (special thank you's, hugs and kisses to Colleen and Grandma J for watching our little sweeties for us!!) a couple times, and both times Shayla wanted to hold Aria the whole time, while Liam and Ammon preferred scoping out the hospital room for adventures. We also had other special visits from family and friends, and it was so great to see everyone! We love you guys!


Josh was a great labor coach and switched into his role as sleep deprived dad very well. Aria seems to love the party lifestyle, being up all night and sleep during the day. Maybe if I would've done that kind of life the last few weeks of pregnancy she'd be on the right schedule now. Hm..something to think about for the next one...wait..next one?!


All in all, it's wonderful not to be pregnant anymore, and to have this sweet angel in our family. Josh gets to be home for a week now and help out, and I think we'll have a fun week of adventures ahead of us for sure. Yay!
