I realize that I may be the worst blogger ever. My only intention with the blog was to keep friends and family posted on what's going on with our new family, and I can't even get the news about our new daughter posted within two weeks of her birthday. I suppose I've been busy, what with feedings, changes, and naps... but still.
At any rate, here are some pictures of the day our little Maggie finally graced us! She was born on Tuesday, June 26th at 8:32am... just after a few days of labor, which ended in a c-section. She's amazing though, and already, I can't imagine life without her. As one of my friends said, "It
truly makes you believe in love at first sight."
The day that we went to the hospital, we went to the mall to try and speed up my contractions. Since we were still deliberating on some names, James picked up a name book. So, in between contractions at the hospital, I caught my James heavily immersed in choosing a name for our little one!
For the first few hours, I was relatively calm and collected. James felt that this look captured it best!
My mom was with us in the labor and delivery room. We were joking about something... again, this was before they injected me with oxytocin to move the contractions along. Believe me, I wasn't this relaxed the whole time! I was so glad to have both James and my mom there.
A c-section delivery was determined at about 7:00 the following morning. James got suited up in his scrubs and we waited to move to the Operating Room. I was a little anxious at the thought of the surgery, but it was the best decision... for both me and the baby. Throughout the entire night, I had only dilated one additional centimeter, and with every contraction, Baby's heartrate would go down. Getting the baby out was the best decision.
And here is proud daddy just a few minutes after she was born! I couldn't believe we have a daughter!!! I was convinced we were having a boy... I'm SO happy to be wrong!
So here she is... our little Maggie! Margaret Olivia Mooney was born on June 26th, 2007, weighing 9.07 lbs, and measuring 21.5 inches long! She's an angel.
One of Maggie's favourite times is bathtime! I have yet to give Mags a bath yet, as this is a special time for James and her. She absolutely loves it... and James does too. I can tell by the amount of water that is all over the kitchen when they're finished.
