Welcome Laylah!!!
I really wanted my sister to have her baby Dec 23rd which fell on a Monday since my husband is off on Mondays. That way I could be there for the entire birth. But my sister told me that since I was there for her 1st son Ammar that it would only be fair and have her sister in law there this time. It's only fair, I understand but either way I was going to try to sneak in there hehehe ;) When her contractions started on Saturday, I knew the due date would be close. She was admitted on Sunday dilated at a 6! By the time she had an epidural she was already close to a 10 and tells me she felt everything! :/ Her and my other sister Meg are one of the strongest ladies I know! :) She tells me that after being admitted, the baby was born within 2 hours. Wow! Luckily mom my and brother in law were there for support. I on the other hand was sad I couldn't be there. Since her delivery wasn't induced and it would be "au natural" - we were basically on baby watch every minute! The entire family went to visit her the very next day! I couldn't wait any longer!! She's so sweet and calm. We are so happy for them since she might be their last. She says she feels whole- a baby boy and now her baby girl. She tells me she couldn't handle 4 like me- she's not a multitasker she says. Hey, to each their own right? We are all head over heels madly in love with this little princess! Little girls are just so much fun. It even gave my hubby baby fever just holding her 0_o Ohhhh Oh! LOL We later headed to the mall to stretch our legs and take the kids to the play area. I took Denyce to her now favorite store Hollister where she found a couple of great finds at great prices. Just like momma taught her ;) We snapped some pictures along the way....
