Samantha's hostpital pics

Those are my hands with her

They asked if I would like to get in the picture with her, but I had no warning of when

they were coming to take her pictures, so I looked like death warmed over! But my hands were in excelent condition ;)

Daddy and Samantha...I don't think he's fond of her at all...hehehe ;p

I'm so glad that we got to finally go home! We got to go home Tuesday afternoon. My doctor gave me the choice and I chose home now! But let me tell you it's alot more hectic at home. Not so much for me, but for poor Jim. He's taking on so much, I'm starting to wonder how much longer before he cracks :p Let me tell you, I've got THE BEST husband ever!!!!!

A few moments later her decided Samantha needed Kisses and Love from her big brother.

This is Owen's first meeting....as you can see he was a little distraught ;)

Baby Samantha's Grand Entrance!

Aunty Vicky got to be in the OR with us for the big day!

Our first meeting

She came out screaming

So Jim and I bet 5$ if she'd have hair or not....I owe him 5$ now :)

This is us within minutes of the surgery. I was so excited and impatient that I couldn't ever get nervous....

Owen vs. Sour Patch Kids

2 weeks left!

Here's Samantha! She's 36 weeks here and we are almost done! We had to get another ultra sound to see about the placenta previa. And well we got the results yesterday afternoon. Apparently the placenta is all of 6mm away from being out of the way enough for my doctor to let me have a "natural" birth. So our options were to either take the chance and wait 2 more weeks to have another ultra sound and see if it moves enough. Or have a scheduled c-section. We asked what our chances would be and he said slim to none. So we decided to go ahead with the scheduled c-section. Let me tell you, I am NOT excited about this at all. But if I were to take the chance and wait, then I'm being selfish and putting both Samantha and I in danger. So of course we went with the safer route. I guess really my main concern is nursing. It will be so long after I have her before I will even be able to hold her. And I'm worried she will choose a bottle of formula over me. I know silly, but I'm determined to nurse! And of course the heal time, it's not gonna be fun. But neither is the other route's heal time either. But laying down for 2 weeks....HAHAHA....me stay still!?!?! YUK! Oh well, the things we do for our children huh. Good thing they are so darn cute. So anyway, just a heads up that it's gonna be a hectic month or so. And I know I haven't been on here much anyway, but I really won't be on here for a bit. Now that I actually know when I'm having Samantha, I've got some cleaning and organizing to do :) Another good reason for a scheduled c-section. A list maker and planner like me, can actually plan!
