She's here!

Little MJ is here. My girls have been more than cooperative about waiting to come until my parents get into town. I wasn't actually suprised that it all happened last night. You probably wouldn't believe me if I told you how fast the labor and delivery went so I'll spare the details for now. I want to sit down and timeline it for my journal so when I do I'll post the birth story sometime this week.

Ashton woke up this morning and saw the birthing tub in the living room and asked David, "Did Mommy have her baby?" He's so dang smart. Then as soon as he actually saw baby Mal he asked for Hannah - I think he thought she had been replaced. This whole pregnancy I've felt that if this baby was a girl it's Hannah's little best friend and that they must've made a pact to come down close together despite their Mom and Dad's plans for spacing. It'll be hard on Hannah for a little while since she's still so little but I just know she'll be thrilled that her little sister is here and they're only 14.5 months apart. And if you ask Ashton he is very proud to now have 2 sisters, just ask and he'll tell you.

Until next time...

Oh Sammy she is precious! I hope she made a pact with Sydney too... maybe she will get here soon now that her buddy is here! I am glad it went so easy for you, but really what else did we expect! I can't wait to meet her in person some day.
