Monday 4-7-08 was Payton's Birthday

Well, she is finally here, weighing 6 lbs - 15 oz and 19 inches long, Payton joined us at 12:40PM on Monday, April 7th. An afternoon delivery seems perfect, but rest asure, she took her time warming up for this moment. Payton starting giving Mommy contractions on Saturday evening at about 7PM while at dinner. They were frequent enough by 3AM Sunday Morning to cause us to take a trip to the hospital. But, by 7AM Sunday Morning, we found ourselves back at home and still waiting.

Needless to say, Sunday was spent resting from the night before, and waiting for things to pick back up again. We even managed to get some sleep Sunday night until about 3AM, when things started up again. Only this time Mommy's water broke, so we knew she was definitely on her way into the world this time. Then, after a long morning of waiting, she joined us with a very curious and surprised look on her face!

Surprisingly to both of us, she was pretty quiet through most of it and seemed very alert!

Then, once she was all cleaned up, she let us hear those vocal cords...
