She's here!! After all of the anticipation and the long wait for September, McKenna came 8 days early and REALLY fast!! I started having Braxton Hicks contractions around 11pm Monday night. No big deal, they didn't hurt. Around 12pm, they started getting regular - every 5-8 minutes or so. Around 12:30am, they started to hurt. At 1am, I paged my doctor who wasn't in town so the on-call doc called me back and told me it was up to me to decide if I should go to the hospital.
Well, its a good thing we decided to go because McKenna was born 3 hours later, at 4:10am!! The doctors and nurses said that I made their job really easy that night - I'm glad someone thought it was easy!!! Even though it was fast, it was still a lot of work and very very very uncomfortable to say the least.
Anyway, she is here! She is the sweetest little girl. So calm and laid back. We can already tell there's a huge difference between her and her big sister ;)
Here are some pictures from the past few days:
Look at this adorable cake from Grandma Gurin!
If you know us, you know that we really enjoy the stay in the hospital! We treat it like a mini-vacation, probably cause it'll be the last vacation we ever have! Here's our room..
