My Mother's Day Surprise!!

Our little girl is here! What a gift to receive ON Mother's Day! I started leaking what I didn't realize to be amniotic fluid on Saturday. By Sunday it was starting to become a little more constant but I was feeling good and not having any painful contractions so I went to sacrament meeting. We made it through the meeting but Taylor was having a pretty grumpy day so instead of walking the halls for the next 2 hours I took her home to put her down for a nap. After I put her down I thought that I should at least call a nurse at the hospital and see what she said about the leakage. As she was telling me to come on in and have it checked out Levi walked in from church (he had to teach a 13 yr old sunday school class). I was glad he came home early so that I didn't have to go get him. Our sweet neighbors parent's came and stayed with Taylor (while she slept) so we could go to the hospital.

Long story short, we checked in at around 2 pm and our little peanut was born at 8:13pm on May 10th. She was 2 weeks early and weighed 6 lbs 5 oz and was 20 inches long. She looks nothing like Taylor but is her own adorable self! (We are thinking she looks more like me and my side of the family). Labor and delivery were much quicker than we expected! A couple of pushes and she was here! (I think I finally have her named but Levi is not here to give the ok so you'll have to wait!). Here are some pics for you to enjoy!

Our new little girl! Her first picture with mom and dad. She is one day old!
Here is Taylor and I before we went to church on Mother's Day. Little did we know that we were in for a big surprise that day! (Although Taylor looks like she may have known something, she looks a little concerned that her only child days are over!)
Just minutes old!
She found her thumb real quick! (Taylor is a thumb sucker too although she didn't find hers as quickly!) She is a great eater so far!
Wide awake after delivery!
Daddy checking my Ernest toes out!
Taylor meets her little sister! (She's thinking, "Hmmmm, how should I introduce myself?")
A few pokes in the eye never hurt.
"I think I like her....for now!"
This is Taylor's way of giving a kiss.

Thank you to everyone who helped Levi pack our bags and who helped with Taylor on Sunday. Taylor is being taken care of by grandma and grandpa which is a huge help! Thank you! We've enjoyed our visitors and we're excited to be at home tonight!
