She's Here!

Alivia Jayne Peterson

February 28, 2010

10:40 a.m.

6 pounds 6 ounces

19.5 inches

We are all home now and doing great!

Alivia decided to come and join our family a little early (much to my huge, pregnant, aching, tired, pregnant body's delight!)

To make a long story short:

Sunday morning around 2:30 a.m. my water broke.

We waited at home, not sure what to do because I still wasn't having any contractions.

We headed to the hospital at about 4:15 a.m.

By the time we reached the hospital, around 5:00 after dropping Mady off with Ian's parents, I was having contractions, and in active labor.

Epidurals are my best friend. Seriously.

I have done it once the pioneer woman way, and I am proud of that, but I am not ashamed to admit that epidurals are my favorite :)

Alivia Jayne was born at 10:40 a.m.

Everything went well and Alivia is a happy, healthy little girl!

We have loved having her with us... it feels like we've been waiting on her for a long time!
Madelyn LOVES her baby sister and is ALWAYS very interested in everything she does.

She takes good care of her already!

She brings me her diapers, and cuddles up next to us when I feed her.

She holds her hand, and when she cries, she tells her "it's okay Livy, don't cry."

sisters. are. the. cutest. thing. ever.

Thanks to all that have visited and helped out!
