Announcing

Lauren. I mean a new baby (even if she is 3 months old) deserves her own post. Right?

Lauren Nichole was born on 3.12.2010 at 6:48 am. My water broke the previous night (my birthday!) and she was born about 9 hours later after about half of a push. She was 3 lbs 15 oz and 17.25 inches long. See.

Seriously. Look at how long that leg looks!

These are from that evening (about 5pm) when they brought her to our room. Much to our surprise. We were so expecting her to need the NICU that I didn't even bring her carseat to the hospital. Nope, my sweet baby was cleared by the NICU and left to my care! so, Sunday afternoon (although we were all cleared to leave by 10 am!) we took this little peanut home. She weighed in at 3 lbs 14.4 oz. We were told that she was the smallest baby to leave the hospital that hadn't been in the NICU. It is hard to imagine a smaller baby not needing the NICU, so I am pretty sure she'll keep that record for a while.Her first and definitely not last picture with her brother. Yes. Marcus looks like a giant...but he's still just an average sized 14 month old in this picture. Yes. She looks tiny. She was.
This is the sweet munchkin last week. She's pretty cute if you ask us. She's pretty cute if you ask anyone. She's right around 9 lbs and doing well.

Gah

I've tried now about 17 times to get a post on here. And it just isn't happening.

If you want to know stuff...ask please so I know what to post about and what is just trifling for my many readers.
