Happy O'Birthday!






I'm back and I brought a pot o' gold with me! Jeff, Raegan, Grant and I are happy to announce the arrival of Addison Tate.

A few anecdotal things about this birthing adventure. I DO NOT!!!! prefer c-sections. That's not to say I've had a bad experience, but I was traumatized. SERIOUSLY, I was. It was all so overwhelming that I cried through the whole thing and felt totally out of control. I missed not being abe to hold her the minute she came out. I hated being in recovery for an hour without her and most of all I hated not being able to move or have control over my body/legs. Not for me. But I suppose the most important thing is that Addison is healthy and I am recovering quite nicely. I hardly have any pain. It's mostly minor discomfort. It doesn't even bother me to go up the stairs. I'm happy to be at home because I missed my family and the warm feeling of being here. Hospitals are a bit isolating.

HOORAY!!! She's BEAUTIFUL!

I've been anxiously checking my google reader waiting for some news and pics. I'm so glad she's here and that all went well. (Or as well as it could have, anyway.)

The pictures with Raegan and Grant are so great! Congrats to you all. Can't wait to see and hear more!

She's gorgeous! (just as I knew she would be.) I'm sorry you hated the c/s..I like mine, but I guess I don't know the difference. I'm glad that everyone is healthy and happy, that is all that matters!!
