WOW! I really thought Maggie would come on the 14th the day we were scheduled to get induced. WRONG!!! I started having some contractions at about 5 in the morning and they were 10 minutes apart so I just thought they would probably stop. Well Clint left for school and not 20 minutes later I had to call him home because they were coming every 5. I really thought we would get there, they would monitor me and send me home. WRONG again- I got admitted and when they checked I was a 5+ then once I actually got in a room they checked and I was almost a 7. I got the epidural rolling and didn't feel a darn thing. Some pressure every once in a while, but nothing crazy and I could still feel her moving pretty good, just no pain. After about an hour they checked and I was a 8+ This was about 2:15. They decided to check again about 20 minutes later and Bam I was a 9+ and could start pushing. I told them I couldn't start pushing because my mother in law wasn't there yet. She walked in and everyone was ready to rock so we started to push with the next contraction. 3 pushes, then the next contraction 1 push and BAM miss Maggie was here. She weighs the exact same as Molly did, but was about 2 inches shorter. It was so easy and I couldn't believe she was here and so darn quick. That is the short story, but long enough with all these pictures. She is doing just marvelous- nurses like a champ and poops like a champ all the plumbing works and for that I am grateful. The hardest part about the whole thing was not being able to see my Molly girl for basically 24 hours I guess. They lifted the swine flu ban enough to let healthy adults over 15 in, but still no kids not even siblings. So we did get to have both mine and Clint's mom in the delivery room which was a total bonus because we didn't think that would even happen. I am so glad to be home with both my sweet girls taking naps next to each other. Molly is in heaven she just wants to see the "tute baby" She is mauling her to death when she wants to, but most of the time is being a total show off for those that have been by to visit. I am so lucky to have 2 healthy, beautiful little girls and a sweet caring husband who would do anything for us. We are now officially a family of 4! Welcome to the clan little bug!

Enjoy lots of pictures these are especially for those who cant be here to see her in person just yet!

Grandma's all ready to help in delivery- They asked if they wanted "splash guards" and they both thought they were pretty sweet. Neither needed them, but makes for a great picture. My mom got to cut the cord because Clint felt it appropriate seeing as the K. is after her.
Right fresh from heaven, they don't get any fresher! That first breath is priceless!Striking a pose for all to see!
The scale says 7 12.5 I guess they round up because everything says 13 oz????As soon as Clint held her she snuggled right into his arms and calmed right down. pretty priceless!Not the best angle of me, but who cares. Dr. Lunt is the BEST Dr in the whole world- I love that he is so caring and passionate about his job, I could never have another Dr.Grandma Janet was so great in taking care of Molly for the whole day except the short time she was with us at the hospital.Molly did get to see Maggie through the nursery window, I was still numb so couldn't go down. When Clint brought Maggie back she had this cute little bow in her hair and pink little sockies on, they gave her a mini make-over I guess.My mom almost beat us to the hospital she was so excited. She watched Molly today until we got home. We are so lucky to have both Grandmas so close. They spoiled Molly to pieces and do so much for us all the time. Thanks guys!This morning Maggie peed all over the blankets so when they brought me some new ones I guess they were rough or something and gave Maggie a Polk-a-dot rash. They said it may take a couple days to go away, but we are already seeing it slowly fade. I was WAY bugged! She is still super cute though!Dressed and ready to go home- I could hardly wait to see Molly it was killing me, we got out of there asap!Great Grandma Jan made a special trip down to meet Maggie and see her Molly girl.
After our visitors left Molly got really into the baby and just wanted to kiss and hug and hold her. I think this picture is just priceless. Molly is doing awesome for the time being at least I think she is going to do just fine with this crazy adjustment.

All in all we are so grateful to have Maggie here safe and sound and that she came on her own time. There is something so special about new babies, you just feel the spirit so strong and can't help but think of great things and who they may have just left. I like to think my dad gave her a special angel kiss for me on her way down. Just precious, nothing could ever compare.
