It's a GIRL.....again!

And we couldn't be happier! As much as I wanted a boy, and as much as I thought this WAS a boy, Paige 100% completes our family! Never having had sisters of my own, I'm selfishly jealous of the years ahead my three girls will have together. It might get a little rough in 10 years when we have 16, 14 and 10 yr old girls all in one house, but we'll get through it I'm sure.

Unfortunately, the labor and delivery proved to be the hardest one yet. You'd think by the third one, your body would know what to do and just do it. Not the case this time around. Paige was sunny side up, making her delivery very difficult and LONG! But, after 8 hours of pretty hard labor (back labor), she finally made her appearance at 10:15 pm, April 23rd, weighing 8 lbs even and measuring 20 inches long.

Her big sisters are doing great. Lauren has been a mother hen and Reese, well, she has her moments but overall has been great.

So far, Paige has been an amazing baby. The first night home was kinda rough but that's to be expected I think. Ever since then she's been perfect. I know this trend can't continue, we aren't that lucky, but last night she slept from 11:30 until 5, and the night before from 10 till 4. I pray every night our luck holds out, but I know it's only a matter of time before the sleepless nights begin! In the meantime, I plan to enjoy every minute of sleep!

  1. Paige is a cutie! We can't wait to meet her this weekend. Brace yourself as Charlie will look like a twelve month old compared to your little peanut.
