Welcome Baby Macey!!

So ya know how I said hopefully we get some good news at my doctor appointment on my last post. Well...I went in that day and had already dialated to a 5. When the doctor checked me he just started laughing and said I'll probably see you tonight. An hour after I got home the whole process started unraveling (I'll refrain from the details). I had made a decision a few months ago I was going to try to deliver natural so we waited until almot 8:00 pm to arrive at the hospital because I didn't want to be strapped to a bed. The nurse wasn't really sure if I should be admitted yet eventhough I was at a 6 and not more than 4 hours later Macey decided to come all of a sudden and the nurses had to deliver her. The doctor actually didn't even end up showing up until 20 minutes after she arrived because someone forgot to notify him to tell him that I was even admitted. I am proud to say I was able to labor without medication and we are doing well. Matt always thought I couldn't handle pain very well and I always tell him if it's small I can't handle it. He'll have to stop giving me a hard time about being a wimp.

Baby girl's full name is Macey Lenore. She was 7 lbs 9 oz and 20 inches long. She has a full head of brown hair. When they were cleaning her up she did not like the fact that they were poking and prodding her and tried to escape grabbing onto the side of the glass and rolling away from the nurses. That was pretty funny! We thought we were going to have a crying baby for most of the night but after she got bundled up and Daddy was holding her she quieted right down and she has been content ever since. Her demeanor is very sweet, laid back and calm. Her first night at home she only woke up twice. I keep thinking something is wrong because my first baby never slept but that's all Macey does is sleep.

We are so happy to have her finally here!!! Maryn can't get enough of her and cried when she couldn't hold the baby because she was eating. I feel bad because the lighting was not very good in the room so a lot of the pictures didn't turn out but I'll leave you with a few we did get.
