Thats right our little girl was born December 23rd at 6:38PM (hence the reason why it is taking me so long to get this post up, i've been a little busy)
So here is the little story. After a week of high blood pressure for me, my doctor decided that it was better to have the baby sooner rather than later. He scheduled the induction for the morning of December 23rd (about 4 weeks before my due date). We went to the hospital at 5:30 in the morning and to make a really long story (and day) short, by 5:30pm he decided that my pelvis was to small and that after all the pushing and labor there was no way she would be born naturally and so I had a C-section and she was out 20 min. later kicking and screaming and looking like she had been in a fight.
The sad part was that I was originally told by my doc that we would be home by Christmas morning but after the c-section is was obvious that we would not be home for Christmas. I guess if your gonna spent Christmas in the hospital a baby is the best reason why. We had lots of great friends and family stop by to see us (and by us I mean the baby :) so it wasn't to bad. When I look back now she came at the perfect time because it really is the only time both my sisters would have gotten to see her as they wern't going to be able to make the trip out in January. And between holidays and vacation days Joe was able to spend 2 weeks off work (which was a huge help) instead of just a few days. Also she was so big already and I was SOOOOOOOO miserable with all the swelling that I honsetly can't imagine going a few more weeks!!! I guess it all happens for one reason or another!
We are now home and just working on getting into the routine of being parents. Our first week was spent going back and forth to doctors with my blood pressure and Madi's jaundice but now things are good for both of us and hopefully this week goes better.
Almost everyone already knows her first name Madison, the middle name wasn't decided until she was born. Joe picked Natalee because in Portuguese Natal means Christmas and she was born near Christmas so you put it all together and you get Natalee.
Here's the stats and enjoy the pics!
