Little Amelia is sleeping and I finally have a few minutes to update my blog. Life has been pretty busy at the Hogue house since our sweet 2nd daughter arrived. Last Wednesday, I was supposed to go to the hospital to be induced but they we too full to take another patient. I was a little disappointed and hoped for good news the next day. Since we already had a place lined up for Maddie to stay, Bob and I decided to have a date night! We went down to Canal Park for dinner and walked the lake walk in hopes to start labor on my own...no luck!
I was really excited when I got a phone call around 7:30 a.m. that the hospital was ready for us! We arrived at the hospital around 8:45 and they started Pitocin right away. I knew it was going to be a long day so we walked the halls for about a half an hour. I had a wonderful nurse that suggested that I get my epidural early so I had a very comfortable labor. I progressed pretty fast and was excited that we were going to have a baby soon! My sister Michelle left work when we told her things were rolling and she made it to the hospital in the afternoon. She was really excited to be in the room with us and even more elated when Bob let her cut the cord. At 6:37 p.m. and only a few pushes later, Amelia Faith was welcomed into the world! It was love at first sight!
She was a healthy girl weighing 8.58 lbs and 21" long.
Miss Amelia wasn't to crazy about her first bath, but I love this picture of her!
On Saturday we were ready to go home and have everyone in one place. We were so happy to have CeCe to take care of Maddie while I was at the hospital and have Matt and Michelle there with us to celebrate!
And then there were four.....

And then there were four.....It is so exciting to have two beautiful daughters and we are so thankful that they are healthy and well! Maddie is adjusting to having a sister in the house, but has her moments when she wants our attention. She likes to help and hold her and I hope as they grow up that they will be the best of friends. Mia is a pretty content baby and I have been getting good sleep at night. She wakes up about two times a night which isn't too bad. It's hard to believe that my baby is already a week old! Time goes by so fast and I just want to embrace every moment that I have with my girls. They are both little miracles that I thank God for every day!
