Announcement! (no, I'm not pregnant)

So I told you all that I would let you know when my Gaby delivered her baby. . . So she did!! Yeah! Yesterday she was all down and blue after her doctor's appointment because she hadn't progressed beyond the four and she felt like she was, "Never going to have this baby!" and it was her due date and she felt sad. She kept saying, "I'm feeling stuff and pressure but I don't know if it's going to stay and I don't know how to keep it going. . ." I'm telling you girls, she was sad. So her water broke at 4:30 or so and she was still not sure if she was in labor even though she was having regular "pressure" that comes and goes (some people call that contractions).

It was fun to say stuff like, "Well, maybe we should think about heading to the hospital since it is 40 minutes away and you are a four and your "pressures" are 2-3 minutes apart." She still wasn't buying it, but she consented and she even said I could come with her when her mother-in-law came to take her to the hospital (I was totally excited because I really like that girl and I was hoping she would invite me!). Carson had left work to find that Flagstaff was beset by a BLIZZARD! Seriously, a blizzard when he is trying to leave town quick to get to his baby's delivery!

So we arrived at the hospital at about 7:30pm and got all settled and she got an epidural which was very interesting to watch! Holy Moley! She progressed really quickly and was delivered at 12:34am today. Baby weighed 7 lbs 3 oz and is very darling, she kept sticking her tongue out at me though. It was a wonderful experience for me, odd to think that just a year ago I was the one in the bed acting nutty! Now my Pete is so big and practically walking and talking - it goes by FAST!

So today we watched conference and I napped a bit since I got home at 3am. And I miss Gaby, we've had good times together, but I'll see her tomorrow after she's released and they come to get their big girls who are still with us.

So if anyone is considering adopting a pregnant friend for a few weeks I highly recommend it, it's been lovely.

I hesitated to post this without a picture, I took about a million pictures with their camera last night but of course I don't have any here now! I'll snag some in exchange for Tierney and Avery tomorrow to show you all.
