On Monday, September 13th, Darran accompanied me to my hopefully last doctor's visit. It did end up being my last (as a pregnant woman) since our doctor wanted to send us to the hospital as soon as we were done. I had a moment of panic...I'm completely ready but when the reality hits there seems to be hesitation. 
We told our doctor we wanted to at least go home and get our things, have something to eat, and tell our sweet Eliza what we were doing. So about 2 hours later we headed to the hospital. On the way I started to have little contractions. By the time a nurse got me all hooked up in the exam room the contractions became more consistent. The nurse wasn't convinced we would be staying but after about a half an hour she came back and said she was going to admit us. By then contractions were coming every couple of minutes.
So we moved into our room, had the epidural around 8:00pm, and Talia Brooke was born a couple hours later at 11:20pm.
She weighed 7 lbs. 2 ounces and was 19.25 inches long. She made more noise than Eliza did when she was born but we've since learned that she does NOT like being naked so she was apparently just making that known from the first moment!
Proud Grandmas! They were such a great help and what a wonderful blessing to have both of them with us!
Proud and happy parents...we're officially a family of four! Crazy!
Daddy and baby Talia.
Sweet sister Eliza...giving kisses to baby sister.
And reading her books.
I love when they wear beanies! Such a sweet baby!
Talia's outfit for her first picture.
So snugly! Welcome to the family Talia! We love you so much!
