Our baby girl has arrived. Nicole Katherine made her debut ON her due date of 1/30/2008. Mom had been told earlier on Tuesday that every thing was ready - all that was missing was labor. So mom, grandma and LV decided to spend the day doing a few fun activities including going to the World of Coca-Cola when Mom realized that she might be in labor!! So we returned back home, then called dad to go meet him at the hospital (around 7:36 PM). Seven hours later, our baby girl came into the world weighing 8 lbs, 3 oz and stretched to 21 inches. All the nurses noted that she was a "big" girl and kept asking us how big our son was. She was ready to make her appearance ready or not!!
Big Brother got to meet her on Wednesday later after mom had rested. He was very interested in her and claimed she was pretty. We think he hasn't figured out that she is a permanent fixture yet. Several of mom and dad's friends stopped by to say hi and meet the little Miss.
Friday we were discharged from the hospital. We arrived home around noonish to settle into a routine (as much as we could with a 3 year old and a newborn). Friday night was a little rough on mom. Thank goodness Grandma was there to help stay up with mom for the feedings. Nicole was not used to the big crib and all the space but with a little swaddling she was good to go and gave us a few hours of sleep. So today we are trying to establish a little more routine with Nicole's schedule. Its going to be a rough time because we are still finding that delicate balance with LV's schedule as well.
