Yesterday I got a call from the Dr's office that I needed a non-stress test. Since it was our anniversary Joel said we would go into the birthing center quick and then go out for a nice lunch. We left the house at around noon.
Here we are all ready to leave for our date
Two minutes after driving away I had my first contraction. Of course we assumed that it was not the real thing... I mean how many times have we been faked out?!
By the time we got into Mqt my contractions were 3-5 min apart. I was starving so I hoped they would stop so we could go out to eat. As we sat on the monitor the contractions were only 2-3 min apart. I lied to the nurse and said they were only like a 2 on the pain scale. Then I stood up and my water broke... about 1:40 PM
Joel hurried up and grabbed the camera to take one last picture of my belly at 40 weeks and 5 days.
Addison Grace Dank came flying out less than an hour 1/2 later at 3:02 PM. She was 7 lbs. 9.4 ozs. and 19 inches long. I could have sworn she was bigger than that :)
Daddy holding Addie for the first time. She is a total daddy's girl. They snuggled almost all night.
James holding his baby sister for the first time. Joel called when she was out and he was running around the house screaming, "Baby D is out!" He has already helped with a diaper change and is going to be an amazing big brother. I am the luckiest Mommy ever!
