11-12-13!!!

My due date was Monday, November 11, and much to my dismay, I went in for my check-up, still 4 cm dilated and not going into labor.  We scheduled my induction for that Thursday and I went home knowing that we were not going to meet our little girl until then.  Early the next morning, around 2am, I woke up to use the restroom and noticed that I was having contractions that were close together.  I decided to stay up for a little bit and time them, but I was not getting my hopes up because I had done this so many times already.  For the next two hours the contractions kept coming 6-8 minutes apart and they were getting stronger.  I finally woke Scott up thinking this may actually be the real deal.  We called the Doctor around 5am and she said to come to the hospital, so I called my Mom to come to our house and stay with Sophia.  By 6am, I was showered, packed, and ready to deliver this baby!  We arrived at the hospital at 6:30 on the special date of 11-12-13 and Savannah Elizabeth was born at 10:37 am after pushing for only 2 contractions.  She weighed 7lbs 9oz, was 19.5 in long, and absolutely perfect. 
Such a sweet girl:)

Can't believe I'm holding her!

Finally a family of four!

The holidays are going to be so special with Savannah finally here!  I feel so blessed that I am a Mom to two healthy, beautiful girls:)

My Little Lady Bug!

Scott and I really thought(and hoped) that this Halloween we would be in the hospital having a baby and Sophia would not get to go trick-or-treating this year.  But, our little Savannah had other plans and we dressed Sophia up as a lady bug to go try trick or treating for the first time.  I handed out candy while Scott took Sophia around the neighborhood.  I was a little worried that Sophia would be a little shy going up to stranger's doors, but it turned out that she loved it and didn't want to stop!
