Mia Laura Lavender

Well my Doctor decided February 2, 2013 would be the day for Mia to make her entrance and what a lucky girl she is to share a birthday with her Dad. He said it was the best birthday present he got! So Saturday morning we headed to McKay Dee Hospital bright and early. The doctor broke my water at 8:30, I got my epidural at 9:30 and just after we finished watching our movie (Sherlock Holmes #2) I pushed three times and Mia was born at 12:32 pm. It was a very easy delivery. The nurses said I should have made it look harder. Glad she is here and healthy.

Patiently waiting.

Getting wiped off and checked out.

Weighing in at 8 lbs. 2 oz. and 20 inches long.

 



 

Happy Birthday Dad!

All clean and getting warm under the lights.

 



Grandma Lavender



Look at all that dark hair, hoping it stays that way.

Finally with her eyes open.

Ready to go home.

 

We were very lucky to only have to stay one night. I never sleep well at the hospital what with the horrible beds and all the interruptions I try and get out of there as soon as I can. So we came home on Super Bowl Sunday.

We stopped at my Mom's to show Mia to Emma and James as they were not allowed to come to the hospital due to the horrible flu season. Quinn also got to watch the game too. Emma was very excited to hold Mia, James was not that impressed and went right back to his movie after a quick look.

Cute Sisters!

Mia brought Emma and James each a present which they loved.

Aunt Annie

So here she is. She is now two weeks old and is a very good baby. Hardly ever fusses and sleeps well so far. I know it is just because she is a newborn and that will all change very soon but enjoying it while it lasts. She is eating good and gaining weight now that she is on formula. My milk never came in again but that is all right with me because now Quinn can help out more.

We love you Mia and are so glad that you are finally here and healthy!
