She Finally Arrives!




Two day late but our little princess finally arrived. I'll save you all the gory details but let's just say that on Saturday the 21st I went into labor around midnight (contractions were about 7 minutes apart) and around 5:30 am on Sunday morning we finally made it to the emergency room (my contractions were still 7 minutes apart). I thought for sure the nurse was going to send me home but after she checked me out she found that I was dialated to a 6. So they took me back and we prepared for her arrival. Just as I was not a fan of being pregnant, I quickly discovered that I wasn't a fan of the whole labor process either. As such, I'll save you all the details of that experience. At 3:38 pm, Finley Rose Nadeau was born and we couldn't have been happier! She weighed 7lbs 15ozs and was 191/2 inches long. She has the longest fingers and toes and a head full of hair. 

Being a mom has been an amazing experience. I just look at her and she puts a huge smile on my face. She's been a really sleepy baby and we've been lucky enough to get some much needed rest during this first week.
