And Baby Makes Three

Olivia Paige Canyon was born 9/18/09...right on time! We were a little surprised when my contractions started Thursday night. Earlier that week I had gone to the doctor and there was still nothing happening. My doctor told me he was going to enduce me the following weekend so she would be born on the 26th. Luckily though Olivia was ready to come on her own. The whole labor thing went great! I had contractions all night Thursday and then in the morning around 10 we went to the hospital. I really didn't want to get sent home so we waited and called my doctor in the morning to see what he thought. After telling the nurse my symptoms she told us she thought it was time to head to the hospital. Everything went so smooth. The nurses at Thunderbird were amazing.. I loved them all. They really made the whole process so easy and comfortable for the both of us.
I just wanted to say thank you so much to everyone who came to visit or sent messages to us. It made us both feel so loved and the support was great. Having good family and friends makes all the difference.
So now we are home and getting use to each other and this new routine. But honestly it as been so easy so far. Its crazy to think that we are parents but at the same time it just seems so natural. Jon is an amazing dad and is so in love. The feeling is mutual from Olivia too. She loves to just stare at him and turns her head whenever she hears his voice. So things are good. Things are great actually. I am so happy and so blessed to have a perfect little girl and the best husband ever.

Coming home

She does not like the bath..

but she loves to get her hair washed..a true girl

funny face

Oh ya.. she was 6lbs 10 oz 19 1/2 in

38 weeks...

And nothing! I know that technically I have two more weeks to go, but come on.. I'm done. A couple of weeks early isn't asking too much is it? Apparently for the little princess inside me it is. She seems to be quite content in her little home. I went to the doctor today and he told me that I'm not even a one yet. He called it a finger tip dialation and was able to feel the top of her head and that my cervix is soft but other than that.. nothing. The good news is that he thinks there is only a 5% chance that I will need a c section. So that's good I guess. I know that I shouldn't complain because really I have had a very easy pregnancy with no complications. But I'm hot and I'm tired and I just want to see my baby. I want to see her cute little feet and see who's eyes and nose and everything she has. I want to see all of the black hair that we all are assuming she will have. I just want to hold her in my arms and give her kisses. But I guess if I have to wait a little longer that won't be so bad. I know that there are a few things that I will actually miss about being pregnant. I will miss feeling her move inside me. It's really the neatest feeling in the world and you can't explain it you really have to experience it. I will miss how excited I get to have an ultrasound and see what she looks like now. I will miss having her with me always. Right now I never have to leave her.. 24/7 she is my little buddy. I will also miss eating whenever and whatever I want and not having to worry too much about it. So I should just enjoy these next few days or weeks and not complain or get frustrated. She will be here soon enough and then the "fun" will begin.
