I'm a mommy and Chris is a daddy:)

Sunday, December, 27th 2009 we went to the hospital for some 'prep work' prior to being induced. Here's pics of us before leaving.

.Me trying not to look nervous. (but I totally was)

In the process, my water was accidentally broken which kind of expedited things. By 11 pm I was dilated to 3 cm. We got a few hours of sleep before they started the pitocin at 4am Monday morning. After experiencing my water breaking and some miserable contractions the night before, I decided to get my epidural when they started the pitocin. Thank goodness for modern medicine! I slept great till about 8am and felt so relaxed. They checked me again and I was 6cm. About 45 minutes later, the nurse came in saying the baby's heart rate was dropping and she checked me again and I was 10 cm. She called my doctor and he was on his way. I had to push through 4 contractions before she came out. It was totally easy, with those drugs of course:) Lila Sharon Johnson was born Monday, December 28th, 2009. She was 4lbs. 10 oz., 17 1/2 in., and incredibly beautiful!! We love her so, so much and are blessed to have her in our lives.

.Me and Lila:)

.She likes sleeping with her arms like this.

She is such a calm and peaceful baby, except when she acts like a savage beast during feeding time. I wish I had a picture of that. It's quite a scene.

So long and skinny, like a torpedo.

Don't you think we have the same feet?

We love this girl and all the faces she makes!!!!!

The proud daddy and...
