Baby #2

We welcomed Hazel 2 weeks before our scheduled date. She was so anxious to meet us.  Actually, my MD said it was probably the full moon that hurried things along :) Darn full moon. It is interesting how different this baby is from our first.

Loves to be cuddled and carried around all the time.

Girlie selfie! This is how most of our pics turn out.

Helen loves to help take care of her little sister.

What makes a 2 year old slow down? I tiny baby to cuddle with.

I woke up this morning at 0830, 21days away from my due date. We already have a cesarean scheduled for nov 20th, so we really didn't think to have much prepared before then. I was going to walk in on the 20th looking great, prepared for it, house cleaned, kitchen stocked, my sister watching helen.....    

Well this baby had different plans. I was pretty sure that my water had broke because you know...... There I was, alone with helen and nothing was packed. Thankfully I was able to get ahold of Ellen to come stay with her and mike was on his way. We got ready and threw a bunch of stuff in the bed to take along. I don't even have an outfit to take her home in.  There isn't even a car seat yet! Agh! 

Here I sit, #3 for afternoon cesareans. Thankfully there's nothing wrong that would make them push this along. Hopefully nothing happens with the other 2 moms that push me back even more :) 

Anxiously waiting!
