Meet the New Kid on the block!!

BREANNA ELIZABETH made her debute on Thursday, September 3 at 8:31pm. Weighing in at 6 lbs 14 ounces, 20 1/2 inches. She was born 2 weeks early since my blood pressure once again did not cooperate. I had gone in for my normal checkup and my pressure was up to 140/90 which the doctor didn't really like. So she sent me for a non stress test and the pressure came down a little and I went to work for the afternoon. At 4pm I got the call from the doctor's nurse saying that they wanted to do the c-section that night and when was the last time I ate? I was like at 12. Tthey said "ok, we will call you back and let you know what the doctors (anesthiaoligist say)". They call back at 5 and said "be here at 6 and we will take the baby at 8." I rushed home finished packing and said hello to the kids and then off we went to the hospital. True to their word they had me in the OR by 8PM and back in teh recoervy by 9:00pm(it was fast). The kids then came up and saw their new little sister and spent some time with her before they headed home to go to bed for school the next day.

Here is Breanna First Bath.....Done right in my room


She is a spitting image of her big sister. The kids are happy and excited. It did take Megan a little while to come around since she was so sure we were having a boy and his name was going to be "ROCK STAR". She did say the Breanna's name was "Pretty".
