The greatest joys in life are experienced in happy family relationships... the cultivation of a happy home requires effort and energy, forgiveness and patience, love and endurance and sacrifice, but it is worth all of this and more. -Gordon B. Hinkley

At Last!!

The morning of induction... bright and early... actually it was dark and early... about 5:30 am.
Dialated to an 8!!
Just a little extra for the fun part... They should not have given me one of these! I was numb for way too long after the birth!!

Oh, I am so happy that she's here and everything went well. You look too cute in these pictures and seeing your precious baby makes me excited to have another baby in hopefully 2 and 1/2 weeks. I loved looking at all the past pictures over the last month I just got caught up on. Well, congratulations and I hope to meet Lucy soon!
