Still Here!

Well, I cannot believe it has been 9 months since my last post. But it has been an extremely busy, crazy, and fun 9 months. Since it would take forever to highlight our fun I'll just start with the most important and exciting. The birth of our beautiful little girl!

Haddie Ann Marsden was born on August 15th at 3:14 p.m. My water broke about 7:15 that morning, and after I had finally convinced myself it really had an hour later, we went to the hospital. The nurse in labor and delivery couldn't determine if it really had or not, so I eventually had to go have an ultra sound. Finally, after 3 hours of waiting they officially admitted me to the hospital. Contractions had just started getting bad and I had my epidural about an hour later. Once the epidural kicked in life was great! I didn't feel any pain and the rest of labor and delivery were a breeze. I progressed super fast and about 2 hours later and then a couple pushes she was born. She weighed 7 pounds, was 19 inches long, and is the cutest baby ever!
Our sweet girl!


Gichin was great through everything and even stayed at the hospital with me .

Ready to go home after 2 long days.

She was so tiny in her car seat. When we left the hospital she weighed 6 pounds 7 ounces.

Congrats again! I love those cute bows they put in girls hair in the hospital. I kept it on Azure as long as possible and still have it!

Wow, I had just about given up on you blog. Actually just the other day Jordan said, "If they wait just a couple more months they won't have to update their blog for Christmas!"
Well, we too are glad you are back to blogging. Keep the pictures of Haddie coming, we want to see more!
