Welcome!

Happy Birthday! You are here! Early! You came 3 weeks early and boy were we suprised. I'm so glad you did though, because you were a big girl, weighing in at 8lbs, 5 ounces at 10:10am on 10/16/2011. I labored for a short time and pushed 3 times and you wiggled your way out. Everyone was so happy and impressed because you came vaginally, which was considered a VBAC and is somewhat unusual. All your dark hair is a traffic stopper! People cant believe how much there is and that it stands straight up. I love it too. I had a few complications after that were mostly annoying and didnt effect you at all. Lucky for us, we had lots of help from neighbors to feed us and play with Mia so I could recover and take care of you. Then grandma Tami came and all was taken care of. You have hip dysplasia on the left side and a little on the right. We have you in a brace that you dont seem to care about. You will wear it for a few months and all should be well! It doesnt hurt you or anything like that, it just keeps you in the frog legged position. 2 weeks after you came, we flew to Utah for your great grandfather's funeral- Darrell. It was a sad occasion but everyone was so happy to see you- this perfect little angel from God. For now, we are just loving you up and adjusting to life with two kiddos. Mia loves you so so much and always wants to kiss you and asks you if you are hungry or cranky or if you want to read books with her. I love you so much. You are a blessing from heaven.
