Megan's first moments

This cutie pie came 4 days late and we evicted her (induced) just like we did to her big sister 4-1/2 years ago. This pregnancy seemed to last an eternity for us. With all the extra doctors visits and fertility treatments, we have been planning Megan's birth for over a year. Plus the month of January dragged on for us with counting contractions. There were a few times that my braxton hicks contractions seemed like the real thing and were coming every 10 minutes. It also didn't help speed things up to have all the family calling every single day in January for status updates. But she is out and I breathed a huge sigh of relief and joy when they placed her in my arms!

David was so happy to have his newest tax deduction arrive. When she started crying in his arms he sang Megan her very first song ... "oh there's nothing quite as wonderful as money" from Monty Python. He is crazy!!

Emily was already asleep when Megan was born and then she had preschool the next morning. So it wasn't until 1:00pm the next day that our proud "big sister" got to meet Miss Megan.

Too bad he has to wait until next year to count her as a tax deduction!

What precious moments. I remember the first time I met my younger siblings. How exciting!
