Then my mom came into town for the long haul to help with the birth and Finley's first few weeks of life. This was taken as I was registering the night before Finley's birth at Saint Anthony's Hospital.
Here I am - little did I know what was about to go down over the course of the next 24 hours. I will spare everyone the gory details but let's just say that Finley needed A LOT of prodding to get into this world. Pitocin... 10 hours later... epidural... 45 later... pushing... 2 hours later... forcepts... 2 minutes later... birth.
I'm not gonna say it wasn't painful - but it was magical and totally worth the work and the wait.
This is Finley coming home for the first time. She wore home the same dress I wore home from the hospital when I was born. I was a little chunkier so it was a little big on her.
This is the awesome Dr. Cannon that delivered Finley... apparently Finley had some wicked flash backs because two seconds before I took this picture she was totally fine.
She loves to sleep all day and loves to cuddle. She hates sponge baths and sleeping at night. We are all learning - but we still think we got pretty lucky.

Wow. I cannot believe you have a little punkin! Bridge, she's gorgeous. I just want to snuggle her up. I can't can't wait to see her (please tell me you're still coming). Give her a big kiss for me!
PS. Your parents both look so excited and proud. You're such a grown up! Also, love that she wore your homecoming dress (that sounds weird, I'm picturing PESH 1999, but you know what I mean) for her trip home from the hospital.
