Hey I know those toes...

7lbs 12 oz.

Arrived via C-Section after 2o hours of labor...

We couldn't be happier...

When I hold her sometimes my heart aches so much that it literally hurts me

Being a mommy is everything I thought it would be and then some...

When I realized she was going to be a week old tomorrow I almost cried

It goes by so fast...

So I ignore what needs to be done

because she is only going to be a little sleeping slug like this for a little while

and I want to soak every little moment in

because this is the best stuff that life is made of...

Making a baby is definitely something to put on your bucket list if you haven't already

it will change you

and your relationship with your husband

It's your love made into a tiny perfect person...

A tiny perfect person who will poop on you, keep you up all night the first night home from the hospital, and only sleep when you hold her close...

Parenthood.

It's the best!

Today is my due date

I'm tired of watching daytime tv

I'm tired of nesting

I'm tired of being a big fat whale

I'm tired of being tired...

I have done everything that I can think of to get this child out of me-

eating pineapple

eating spicy things

walking miles

cleaning everything I can think of 

....and yes I know the other "thing" that helps moves things along

the one the husband is all about and yeah I even went there

I got nothing but a bunch of Braxton Hicks contractions...

I didn't try castor oil- who wants to start labor that way?!

I am ready to meet my little girl

to hold her

and kiss her little toes...

See what color hair she is going to have

and what color her eyes turn...

To see her daddy hold her for the first time...

To get my body back

and drink a margarita...

To have my ribs back to myself and not home to little toes...

We are scheduled to be induced next Wednesday so the end is in sight...

FINALLY!!!
