More Pictures

Here's some more pictures of our sweet little angel. I can't believe how much fun it is to have a little girl in the house. I could honestly dress her and put bows in her hair all day long.

We had Grandma Bishop out here this last week and she has been a life saver. Watching our boys while we were in the hospital, cooking, cleaning and entertaining Logan and Porter. Porter rarely has let her out of his sight since she has been here. She's been a great help and we're very sad to see her leave.

We got a fun surprise in the mail, this cute head band and a bunch of others with bracelets and binkie holders, from a friend of ours. It was so much fun to get.

This is a picture of us leaving the hospital. Some have asked about her story and Brandon covered most of it. My add on's would be that Brandon BEGGED me to go to the doctor to get checked on friday because he really needed a break at work. So I went and the doctor said that since I was dialated to a 4 and some what in labor, I was having irregular contractions, the weather was awful, and Brandon was at the hospital working already she would send me over. The first 4 hours were pretty uneventful just waiting for the antibiotics to kick in for the strep B. After that they kicked the pitocin in high gear and the contractions came strong and fast. I went from being a 5 to ready to push in about an hour and my epidural had worn off. I have NEVER before felt that kind of pain and NEVER want to again. I can't believe people actually choose to do that naturally. Luckily with about 3 pushes she came out and the worst part of it was over. When we first saw her Brandon and I were shocked by how small she was. We were quickly informed that she was NOT small. She has been so much fun to have in our house and she has quickly become everyone's favorite form of entertainment.

One of my most favorite things about having a little girl has been this. I love to see Brandon with her. At first sight he turned to putty in her hands. I am so glad that he is her daddy and come to find out he thinks she's pretty cool too.
