All Because Two People Fell In Love

All Because Two People Fell In Love

Today our sweet little girl is 8 days old...over a week! Its incredible how quick time flies with two little ones around the house. I finally found enough time to get Kingston down for a nap long enough to do Maycie's newborn pictures.
She was so great to work with. She was asleep for most of the time but still would not mold or be cuddly; I guess we're already seeing a little glimpse into the future of how she's going to be for us.
She's a little orange in these photos because of her jondis but I wanted to keep it that way because thats who she is.
After an hour of shooting, I decided I was done and got the pictures I wanted; not in time to get a diaper back on though. I was lucky enough to have to catch the excess liquid that fell through the blanket she was in... Poor girl tried so hard to hold it in.

Kingston sure missed Mommy and Daddy when they weren't there when he woke up in the morning. He was so excited to see Mommy that he didn't even care that I was in a hospital bed. He was also excited to see his new sister... for about 10 seconds.
We love Davis hopistal. Especially because they give us a candlelight dinner the night that I deliver. This will probably be our last dinner alone for about.... forever.
As tired as I was, it was really nice to take our first family picture together as a family of four. Plus, the odds are even now. :) Two boys and two girls; no more out-voting Mommy. ;)
Getting ready to leave the hospital I actually felt great. However, they don't let you leave unless someone takes you out in a wheelchair, and I definitely wasn't opposed to this.
Loading into the car seeing the two carseats together for the first time was sure a shock. It'll be so nice to get home and start our lives together with our two kids.

She's here! Maycie Marie Curtis was born at 12:16pm on August 6, 2012. She weighs 7 pounds 2 ouces and is 20 inches long. She is the same length and only 1 ounce less than her brother when he was born. We're so excited to have her in our family.
I was so excited that she was actually sucking and understood the concept of the binkie and nursing. It is going to be so great to have a baby that takes a binkie to be soothed. As you can see on my face, its a whole new experience for me.
Daddy sure loves his new little angel. He didn't leave her side the entire time we were in the hospital. Even when they had to take her to do certain tests, he would be the one to wheel her down to the nursery. I can see a very good friendship in the future between these two.
How precious. She is such a little sweetheart. All of the ladies in the nursery say they love when its her turn to be held because she just sits and stares at you and has been so happy to work with. Lets hope this sticks. ;)
This is the first time Daddy held both of our two little babies at the same time. You can see Kingston is a little unsure. I can see strong arms in our future.
Today's the day!!! I'm offically 39 weeks and 5 days pregnant. Wow, when you put it in weeks, it seems like a lifetime. Last night I was very nervous about going in to be induced; its hard to know that in x amount of hours, I would be in the most pain I probably will be in my life. With that said, I couldn't be more excited for the arrival of my daughter!
As you can see, we were both a little nervous and tired. We had to be to the hospital at 7:00am so being tired, and anxious, Jess was so out of it that he put his sweatshirt on backwards. I loved it because it was the last laugh I would have before a few hours of labor.
Because I was suppose to be induced, they put me on patosin to get me started. However, on the way to the hospital I had told Jess that my stomach hurt; little did I know it was because my body had already gone into labor. Within about 15 minutes they took me off the patosin to let my body continue laboring on its own. Jess and I laughed together and but the pain was starting to get unbearable. So when a contraction came along, I closed everyone out and just held my breath through it. As the pain progressed, the anesthesiologist gave me the epidural, but one side of my body wouldn't take to it. After 30 minutes he gave me a second epidural. The second one still didn't work so all of the pain from the contractions were focused on my left side. The third and final try for an epidural finally took and I was able to stop the tears and laugh a little. Dr. Farley had a completely full day of appointments and asked me to wait until his lunch time at 1:00. That didn't happen. 11:45 came around and my body wanted to push. He rushed over and barely made it in time. During push number 2 Grandma Karen ran in the room and I was so relieved to have my Mom there. Maycie Lou came right out on push number 3, healthy and happy.
