Fastest Three Weeks of Our Lives

I don't know how many times I've sat down to write a post...somehow my attention gets distracted by a now seven pound ball of hair. Life has changed so much for Manny and I in the last three weeks. We can't believe how much we love her.Which is good cause getting up in the middle of the night to nurse doesn't seem like that big of deal when you love something so much.

My contractions started and water broke Monday night around 10:15. They hit hard and fast. They were lasting about 30 seconds every two minutes or so. Manny and I started get everything ready to go the the hospital. When it came time for Manny to clean Lilly's litter box, we didn't have any litter to change it out with so off we Walmart we went. It took us awhile cause I had to stop and breath every 2 minutes. We headed to the hospital at 1230, got checked in, and hooked up. My night nurse wasn't very good. She was really rough and always had to have someone check her work. I got my epidural at 4 and then all was good. My mom and Tren got to Boise at 9ish. We were glad to have them there. At ten I started pushing and by 10:29 our little Alyvia had arrived. All 6 pounds 12 ounces of her. 

It's a tough way to come into the world.

Already found her hand.

I love this picture.

Our nurse we had in the morning...she was great

Things I've learned in the past weeks include: One of the joys of being a mother is you never have a clean shirt on. It's really hard getting two people ready and getting out of the house on time. Projects never get done in the same day. People are lots nicer and want to talk to you more when you have a baby.
