Kaylee is FINALLY Here :)

 I am SO very happy and proud to announce that my daughter (OMG still can't believe I can actually say that now!) Kaylee Rae Gracia is finally here.

She was born on Friday May 6th at 6:46 am weighing 6lbs 15 0z and 19 1/2 inches long.

Kaylee has become the center of our world and Vince and I both have fallen head over heels in love with her already.

 Sorry it has taken me so long to post this, but I have seriously not even turned on my laptop until today. The last week has been crazy (in a good way) and slightly overwhelming, but now that we are starting to get the hang of things I will get back to posting again. (and I will post about her actual birth story soon too.. which by the way was an amazing experience that went much differently than I thought it would)

 So for now I will just leave you with this link to my friend Katie's page where you can see some pictures she took of her the first day in the hospital. (and once I get around to uploading the 100+ pictures that I have on my camera, I will post more pictures of her)

Baby Update

I just wanted to give you all a quick little update...

Well, there's still no baby.. BUT we are finally getting close! lol

I went to the Dr's yesterday and they scheduled my induction for Friday. I will actually check into the hospital on Thursday night (it still hasn't sunk in that it's TOMORROW!) to get cervidil overnight and then first thing Friday morning they will start pitocin to actually get things going. SO hopefully sometime Friday (or at the latest Saturday, but I'm trying to think positive and hope that things go quickly!) our little girl will FINALLY be here! (and what a perfect Mother's day gift!)

Obviously I would have liked to just go into labor on my own (which I guess could technically still happen, but I'm not counting on it), but I really do feel ok about doing it this way too. I know some people really hate the idea of inductions, but for whatever reason it doesn't bother me. I think that is probably because I know that no matter what at the end of this I will have my baby and that's really all that matters. (Plus I am planner and having a scheduled day and time to go in definitely makes it easier to plan things lol)

So anyways that's it for now. Today is my last day at work, I am going to take tomorrow off to just relax and get some last minute things done before heading to the hospital. I will update again once she is actually here :)

PS- I had a great time with my mom this weekend! Normally when I see her now it's with the whole family, so it was nice to get to spend time just the two of us for a few days. I would have loved for Kaylee to come while she was here, but if I had been in labor then I wouldn't have gotten to really spend any quality time with my mom. So in the end it probably worked out for the best and plus she is coming back in 2 weeks and can meet the little one then ;)

Hope you all have a good rest of the week and hopefully I will have more to update SOON!
