She's HERE!!

Well, we didn't have to wait until Monday to have her! I started having contractions Friday morning and they lasted all day, then Saturday morning around 3:30 am I woke up Christopher and said that it was time to go. We got to the hopsital around 4:15 and she arrived at 10:38 am! Sounds like it was easy right... well, I had to have a c-section. They couldn't figure out why I wasn't progressing, I only got to a 3 or 4. Her heart rate would drop everytime I had a contraction. So they decided to go ahead and do a c-section, it's great to have an overly cautious nurse and overly cautious doctor. Once they got in there to pull her out, they realized why I wasn't progressing, the cord was wrapped around her neck, twice. They both said that if they had waited any longer it would have been an emergency, like I said it's great to have two overly cautious people working on you!

Addison Beth Collier
September 8, 2007
6 lbs. 15.4 oz.
18 1/2 inches long

Here are just a few pictures. I'll put more on over the next few days.

First time that I got to see her

Cute picture of Addison and her Daddy


We all thought that this was funny, it's like she's trying to crawl out of the scale

Posing for the camera

Her curled up, I wonder how many times she looked like that in my belly...

Finally, the hair cut! Christopher finally got to cut his hair, here's the before, growing it out for 9 months!!



And the after, Addison likes his new hair so much better than his old hair!

Mindi... she is SO cute! It's funny that after getting married a week apart, and having our due dates a week apart that our little ones were actually born exactly a week apart! Let us know when you're ready to get pregnant again...JUST KIDDING!! I don't know about you, but my sleepless brain won't even let me think of that right now! I can't wait for Addison and Cohen to meet!
