2 1/2 Weeks Old

We had more visitors come meet Maggie this weekend: Loren and her mom, Judi! They stayed the night on Saturday and we had a great time catching up with them and introducing them to Maggie. Mags slept most of the time but at this point, what else is new? Here we are with Loren at breakfast on Sunday and below is Mags in her new onesie--an awesome gift made by Loren and Andy! I can't decide who loves it more, Maggie or Daddy...

Grandpa and Grandma O

Here are a few photos of Grandma and Grandpa O. with Maggie. They are our most frequent visitors and she already loves them very much. Mags is so comfy when they hold her, can you tell? We're lucky they visit so often and we can't wait for her to get to know them better.

9 Days Old

This weekend we had the pleasure of introducing Maggie to her great grandma and three of her first-cousins-once-removed. They stayed for a couple hours and we enjoyed seeing and spending time with them, even if the visit was short.

This first photo is really special: Maggie, Great Grandma F, Grandma O and me. Four generations having a huge laugh, thanks to Maggie! The next photos are Mags with Bailey, Katie and Keri.

Welcome Maggie!

Wednesday evening, just two days after my due date, our little Maggie arrived. After a night of contractions Chad and I went to the hospital Wednesday morning and they admitted me, saying we were ready to go. The doctor broke my water around noon, I got my epidural around 2:30, started pushing close to 6:30 and just before 8:30 Maggie was born. Whew!

She's a beautiful little girl and we're so excited to have her. More photos to follow but right now there is lots to do and not enough time to do it!

Happy Due Date

Well, my due date has arrived and I'm still carrying this baby. They say first babies typically arrive a little late--I wonder how late our baby will be? My belly can't get much bigger so hopefully he or she won't make us wait too much longer.
