Aislyn Grace

Aislyn Grace made her debut at 1:43 pm on 10.20.10. She weighed 6lbs 13 oz and measured 20 inches. She came out crying and was covered in vernix - so much so that one of the nurses asked the doctor - are we certain of her due date??? It was a little disturbing as Miss Mia had only a few spots, nothing like Aisey Daisy! She was born Sunny Side Up with the cord wrapped around her throat one time. Her Apgar score was a 9. Holding her in my arms after the birth (that was LONGER than Miss Mia's) was just amazing! She began nursing right away and has nursed like a dream. My Mom and DH were both in the birthing room at time of delivery. My Dad was with Miss Mia in my regular room.

Miss Mia gets along with her - and asks to hold "Sissy" daily. The best part of my day is when Miss Mia comes into my bedroom in the morning and cuddles behind Sissy while I nurse. I love, love, LOVE having my two girls cuddled with me!

My water broke in the middle of the night - the birth story will be posted at another time. Let's just say, I didn't leak much - and only thought I'd pee'd my pants. It was only when I began to worry that I hadn't felt the baby move that I decided to have my Mom take me to the hosptial. There, they had to break my water on the bottom as the initial break was on top . . . Yes, silly me, I had to have my water break two times before this little one arrived ;)

I just sit here and think of the creep-o doctor who said I would never have children. HA! I have two of the most wonderful gifts - and I KNOW this newest gift was a result of prayers . . . I will let Aisey Daisy know that she has a Guardian Angel named Russ when she is older.
