She is here!

Well, she is finally here, and it couldn't have come at a better time!
My mom made it into Pitt after spending two days stuck in the Cincinnati airport the day before Mia made her debut into the world.
We got a call at 3:30 in the morning from the hospital telling us that they were ready for us to come in. I don't know what it is w/ me having kids and everything starting at 3 a.m., but with all of our kids we were up at 3 heading to the hospital.
She was born at 10:30 a.m.. Labor was fast and easy and we are both doing great! She was 7 lbs. 2 oz. and 20 inches long. She is sleeping great and gaining weight like mad.

She is so content. If any of you have been to my house you know it's not the quietest house around, but Mia doesn't seem to mind. She sleeps through the screams, laughter, and fits! At last a calm child. (I will report on that in a couple of months to let you know if it's still true!)

I love the fist on the chin. She is contemplating something important I guess.

I have been really nervous about this baby coming into our home. I doubted myself being able to handle the added stress of having a new born. Now that she is here, I can't imagine my life w/ out her.
I also feel like I have a good grasp of how life is going to be w/ 3 kids and it doesn't seem like it will be too hard. Saying that I also have to say that my mom is here and she is AMAZING! I don't think I am going to let her go. So again, I will post in a couple of weeks after she is gone and let you know that I didn't have a good grasp of how life would be w/ 3 kids, and the next time you see me I might have no hair and major bags under my eyes. Just you wait!
More pics coming soon!
