Mary's Home!

We were released from the hospital this afternoon and are now home and so happy! My mom and brother David worked so hard to make our house beautiful for our first day home. David made a wonderful dinner for the whole family and Mary adapted really well to her new house. Molly is hanging in there thanks to Uncle David. I think that she knows now that she is no longer the little princess in our house. We are a little nervous for our first night but Mami Cunningham will be here to help.

Check out Mary Kate's outfit that she came home in today. Sam's Grandma made the entire outfit for when Sam was born (they didn't know he was going to be a boy). Sam's parents did a great job keeping it in good shape and Mary looked so adorable coming home today. We were the only patients at the hospital all day yesterday and today and the nurses just couldn't believe how cute she looked.

This evening we compared our baby pictures and Mary Kathryn looks just like her dad. I am going to try to scan his baby picture to show everyone how much she looks like him. She is such a great baby. Cries very little and just loves to cuddle- especially with her dad. We are loving every moment and so glad that time has arrived. We will continue to share our favorite pictures and hope that everyone enjoys.

New Arrival-Happy Birthday Mary-10/28

Mary Kathryn has arrived! We came in on Friday evening for our typical stress test and her heartbeat took a dip so they decided to go ahead and induce on Saturday afternoon. Everyone is doing great. Mom is really tired so is Dad but other than that it couldn't be more perfect! She weighed 7 lbs 2 ounces and was 19.5 inches long. Once we get home and get settled we will be sure to add more posts to our blog- but for now enjoy the latest pics!

THE END IS NEAR!

Well we have had an exciting few weeks. On the 15th we went into the hospital with contractions and found that we were 2 centimeters dilated. The contractions were not strong enough to continue in labor so they sent us home. I have been having contractions since then but I guess not strong enough to be in true labor. We saw the doctor a few days later and we have set a date to be induced- we will be going to the hospital to be induced on October 30th. So we are having a Halloween Baby! Sam and I are so excited and just can't wait until next Tuesday. I am so ready and feeling very uncomfortable and anxious. We have had our bags packed and the house is ready so we just can't wait for Mary Kate to join our family. The next time we post to our blog it will hopefully be with pictures of Mary Kate!

Getting Close!

Sorry to all that it has been a while since I have posted anything to the blog. I have been doing as good as I can be. I have some bad days and some good days. This week we will complete our 35th week and Sam and I are so thankful that we have been able to beat the odds and make it this far. I am still fighting contractions but the doctor says it is all OK. They did another ultra sound last week and Mary Kate came in at an estimated 5 lbs and 13 ounces. We were shocked because the doctor said that one side effect of the fibroid would be a small baby and she has been really small this entire time up until the 34th week. So Sam pushing me to eat all the time has made a big difference. So Mary Kate is doing really well, her mom on the other hand is getting very uncomfortable. I am not sleeping at all at night so lucky for me being on bed rest allows me to sleep all day.
I will tell you all Sam and I are so ready for Mary Kate to arrive. We have everything ready and just can't wait. I will be posting pictures of her nursery once Sam has a chance to take them.
