Can you believe that that adorable little face is the face of my daughter?!?! I hardly can. I love that I have two little girls now. I feel so very blessed. Both mom and baby are doing great. We went into the hospital Thursday morning to get induced. Things started out slow, painstakingly slow. I thought for sure that the baby wouldn't come until the middle of the night, or maybe even the next morning. But then, suddenly, right after the epidural was given and before it had starting doing its magic, I dialated from a 4 to a 10 and started pushing! Needless to say, I felt EVERYTHING! But, with how fast everything went, and only 15 minutes of pushing, it really wasn't that bad. I definitely would prefer such a quick deliver while feeling the pain, than if I had had to be in labor for the rest of the day.

Summer has been a really good baby so far, though she has kept me up quite a bit at night. The hardest thing so far has been trying to help Brooklyn adjust, and keeping her from attacking the baby. When she came to the hospital the first day, she started crying so hard when she saw me holding Summer. It was very sad :( . Things have gotten better since then. She is interested in Summer, and most of the time she tries to be soft, but she does get mad and jealous. She has kicked Summer in the head (purposefully), has scratched her face MANY times, has hit her a few times, and has trampled her a few times. Plus she is CONSTANTLY stealing SUMMER's binky. Looks like my life now consists of changing poopy diapers and protecting Summer from Brooklyn haha Life is good :)

Enjoy the pics of our adorable baby girl!
