Our baby girl has arrived!!!! There are no words to describe how incredible this feels to be parents! Chappell is the most beautiful baby girl I've ever seen and I can't take my eyes off of her! Today is our 3rd day in the hospital and things are going great...mommy and daddy have MAJOR permagrin! Chappell just stares up at us with the sweetest eyes and expressions and she just makes our hearts melt! So her arrival has an interesting story to go along with it...here it goes.
I was orginally scheduled for a planned C-section because Chappell was breech for Friday, Oct 3, 2008 at 8:00 AM. We spent the day before doing final preparations for her arrival and were getting pretty anxious. Needless to say, mommy had a hard time falling asleep that night. At about 1:45 AM on Friday, I woke up for my normal trips to the bathroom and felt like I was having contractions. I just thought it was braxton hicks contractions and didn't think much of it...but about 15 minutes later my water broke!!! It was the craziest timing...what are the odds??? we're about to wake up for a scheduled C-section and mommy goes into labor!!! We called the doctor and were told to go to the hospital. I was in labor for about 4 hours and then had the C-section as scheduled. It worked out wonderfully and the birth of our baby girl was the most incredible experience of our lives. I couldn't see her at first but I asked Brian what she looked like and he said that she was PERFECT and when they brought her around for me to see her I saw the most beautiful little girl I've ever seen in my life! She really is perfect and I can't stop staring at her.
Mommy and Daddy are such ecstatic parents and just feel so blessed to have her in our lives. No words can express how much we love her...It is indescrible.
We get to go home tomorrow from the hospital. We are so ready to be able to introduce Chappell to her new home and get accustomed to the new surroundings with Mommy, Daddy and Daisy Mae. We sent one of Chap's hats home with Gibba and Manny from the hospital to let Daisy Mae smell to get used to her scent. She is going to be a great big sister and protect her. :) Stay tuned for more updates...until then enjoy some pics of our new addition!!
