We are so proud to introduce sweet Mia Jaimee to the world! She is such a gift from God; a true blessing for sure. She entered the world on Thursday, April 9, 2015 at 7:25 am. It was instant love and Mommy and Daddy, along with all the nurses couldn't believe how perfect and alert little Miss Mia was. Mia weighed in at 7 pounds, 0.5 ounces and was 20.25 inches long. Big sisters Emma and Hannah got to meet her shortly after she was born and were so smitten with her. Here is the story of Mia's arrival....
Mommy went in to be induced on the afternoon of Wednesday, April 8th, and by 5:30 that evening the contractions started coming on pretty strong. I called Daddy at work and told him the news, and we were at the hospital by 7:30 pm. Once there, we found out that I was dilated to 4 cm and the baby had turned back onto her side (she had previously been transverse at 36 weeks but had turned to be head down by 37 weeks). Dr. Newman had to come and do a version to get her in the right position again. I got an epidural shortly after and Daddy and I were able to get some sleep off and on throughout the night. In the morning, around 7 am I was fully dilated and ready to push. Once the nurses and Dr. Newman were there I only had to push for a minute and a half, and Mia was here! She looked right at us and our hearts just melted. Mia is now two weeks old and is all settled in at home. She is totally adored by her big sisters and all of the family. She is still sleeping and eating most of the time, but is starting to have a bit more alert time where she likes to be read to and look at toys with bright contrasting colors. She also loves her swing! Emma and Hannah love it when they get to sit by her on a blanket on the floor and play with her. Mia isn't a fan of 'tummy time' yet but is already able to move her head from side to side.
We are so excited for the future and to watch Mia's bond with her sisters grow. Our little family is now complete and we couldn't be happier!
