On Saturday, Jan. 8, I went in to the hospital to be induced. While we were checking in they asked us if we wanted to be on TLC's A Baby Story (They were there filming). Now don't get all excited- you will NOT being seeing us on TV. We said, "No way!" Who wants to be filmed giving birth? Seriously? Anyway, I was induced late that evening and ended up having Alexa Addison Beecroft early the next morning. Everything went really well, despite an epidural that only worked on the left half of my body. :-) I went from a 6 to having her out within 15 minutes. The doctor almost missed it. She came out so easily and I felt so good that even though I had her on Sunday January 9th, they let me go home the next day. There was a big snow storm, which pretty much shuts down the city here so I was happy to get out before the next wave hit. The only other funny thing that happened in the hospital was when Nana and Kiana brought the boys to visit. They weren't really sure about having a girl in the family (Matthew actually cried when we told them she would be a girl) so they were kind of sizing her up when they came. They each took turns holding her and when Matthew held her she passed some major gas. The boys looked at each other then burst out laughing. Matthew kept saying, "She passed gas on me!" I think that is the moment they decided she would be OK. They also love that she has to burp so much (and enjoy demonstrating how when it is time) and thought she was great when she peed everywhere when I was changing her diaper. What can I say- so far our little lady fits in just fine.

Congrats you guys! She's beautiful. We're so happy for you. What a cute name, too.
Oh! She is so cute, and what great pictures of all of you. I especially like to see her with her daddy. Maybe someday Peter will get to have a picture like that.
