Sound the Trumpets, Release the Doves.....Our Miracle Girl is Here!

Without further delay, I would like to joyfully announce the arrival of our baby girl!

Prayers were answered!!! After the shortest induction, labor and delivery of mine lasting a total of only 3 hours, she arrived on Tuesday afternoon.  Safe and sound, weighing in at 7 lbs. 6 oz. and was 19 1/2 " long. 

You know I only use pen names on this blog, so her name will be Chica due to the fact that she is my youngest girl, and also the delicious cheeks where the 1st thing I noticed about her.  She is bringing chunky back! 

I have been wanting to let you all know she is here all week but with the chaos of 3 kids and getting home from the hospital, Chica's jaundice to deal with, nursing and pumping, nursing and pumping, nursing and pumping.....well, the week escaped me.  I am not sure how I will ever have another spare moment ever again to blog but I will promise to keep at it the best I can. 

I will give you a better birth story at some point, I promise.  For now I would like to relish in the fact that I have her in my life.  My heart has grown once again.  The love and gratefulness are indescribable.  She is healthy, I am ok and we are home!  To watch her bloom and grow is a privilege and it is an honor to be her Mama.

Enjoy the pics.  More story to come soon....or soonish, hopefully.  :)

Life goes on my friends.........and it is a beautiful thing!

Daddy with his girls.


Perfection.

Love.
Welcome home.

A big brother's love.

Love,
Mama Nic

The Grand Finale is Almost Here!

Dearest Baby of Mine,

Just hours now till we meet and I am getting so excited!  You are our special grand finale, or as your great grandmother would call you.....you are our caboose.  Either way, you are perfect.  I could gush with emotion right now,  but I want to hold it together and tell you these last thoughts in my final hours of pregnancy.

No matter what happens tomorrow, no matter what you look like, no matter what the status of your health is or what happens to mine.......You are perfect and you are loved.  We welcome you with open arms and you have already found your way into my heart where you will stay forever.

Thank you for allowing me to carry you for 39 weeks and one day.  Safe travels into the world!  I can't wait to hear that joyous cry announcing your arrival.

Anxiously Awaiting You,
Mama
