Well Worth the Wait!

Thanks to Brittney for posting her arrival. Bless it. I had my computer all packed up and in my room at the hospital... ready to post with you guys right along our way. BUT we couldn't get our internet card, so mama was stuck LOVIN on this sweet little girl.

It was awful.

Awfully wonderful, that is...



We arrived at the hospital in good spirits ready to have our girl Wed afternoon. Dr. F broke my water at 1 o'clock, I was still 5 cm. I got an epidural :) at 7cm and in 20 minutes it was time to push.... WHAT? Yes, it was very fast, very smooth, very much worth it.

Leah Hope Owens
arrived Wednesday April 15, 2009
3:50 PM
7 lbs 13 oz 21 in


Leah is very content. Sleeps great. Eats even better, as long as I can get her awake! Sweetest little face ever. Surprisingly, doesn't look much like her big sis. Ayla is is awe of her. So far, no jealousy (cross my fingers). Very helpful. She acts as if she has always been here.




Thanks so much for everyone's comments and prayers. Now that she is here I hope you don't get sick of seeing baby pics... because the next stage of our journey has began!
