Darby Grace

Well she finally made it!!! YAY!!! At 41 wks. via induction we welcomed our sweet Darby Grace! She was born on August 6th at 11:13pm weighing a whopping 8lbs 15 oz. 21 3/4 in. She has the sweetest and most calm personality. She only seems to cry when she is hungry or needs a new diaper. She is all ready sleeping for hours on end in fact I have to wake her up in the night to feed. Boy am I lucky! Julia was the same way when she was a baby so I wasn't sure if Darby would be the same or completely opposite. Speaking of Big Sister Julia, she is doing great with Darby. I do have to keep reminding her to "be soft" when she is giving hugs and kisses but other than that things are going as well as can be expected. The recovery has been really smooth this time around and boy am I thankful. My Mom has been here helping and visiting since the 5th but unfortunately has to go home on Sunday =( Darby is already a week old and has changed so much. What an amazing adventure! Life is good! =) Julia also turned 3 this last week! My little girl is growing up so fast I can't believe it! The Girls are 4 days shy of being exactly 3 years apart. We had a small family party for Julia on Sunday and she had such a great time!

Still waiting...

Yay she's here!

Proud Big Sister! Julia on her birthday and Darby 4 days old!

She will soon be in our arms....

Well I went to the Dr. yesterday morning and he said Thursday is the day if not before naturally! Yay!! As much as I don't want to be induced it is nice to know that there is a specific day. Julia was 9lb. 1oz. and born 2 wks past my due date so we definatley don't want that to repete or gosh could you imagine an even bigger baby? I sure don't want to!!! =) They do say that your babies just get bigger the more you have. But needless to say by Friday she will be here and in our arms and we just can't wait to meet her!!!

Well I am Still Pregnant......

Well as of today I am 3 days past my due date! My Mother In Law came down and Tuesday and we have been walking everyday since. Miles and miles and more miles. Most of our walking is down at the beach and Julia has now decided that she is "not afraid" of the water anymore! It probably doesn't hurt that it is SO warm, at least 72. Having Nana here with us has been great! She is the best MIL one could ask for! =) We are going to my Dr. Appt in the morning and I can't tell you how much I was hoping not to make it to this Appt but oh well here we go. Hopefully he will at least say that there is change happening. After all Julia will be turning 3 in just 8 days and I really don't want there birthdays within days of each other. Oh well I guess little Darby Grace will come when she is good and ready or if they need to induce me at a week past due date,which would be on the 6th. I was induced with Julia at 13 days past due and she was born on the 14th day. I was really hoping to go on my own so I guess we will just wait and see. Hopefully...there is still time =) Well here are a few pictures of us having fun at the beach these past few days.
