No Foolin' It's A Girl!

We are proud to introduce the newest member of our family, Mia Margaret Feyes, born on Tuesday, March 31st at 1:21 P.M. She weighed in at 6 pounds 15 ounces and is 21 inches long. She came very quickly! I had some contractions during the night prior, but still went into work. I called the Dr. and they had me come in for a check up at noon. I was dilated to 6 cm so they sent me over to the hospital. Once I was being admitted I called Andy who came home from work, had to drop off a carseat to his parents so they could pick up Olivia, and he also took Vada to the vet to be boarded. I was admitted into my room at 12:31, and calling to find Andy at about 1:10. Thankfully, when I called him he was in the elevator of the hospital because she was born 10 minutes later. I was not expecting it to go so quickly, but thrilled that it did and we are all healthy. Since it happened so suddenly it has been quite a surreal event. Olivia is so excited and wants to hold her all the time. She has been singing to her and rocking her. We are glad to be home and get life started as a family of four. Thank you to everyone for all of your support!

All Mia wants to do is eat and sleep. I can't say that I blame her.
