Happy Fathers Day!

This is one of my favorite things... my beautiful daughter hanging out with my best friend, her daddy. Eric, you are amazing in so many ways... Monkey is a very lucky girl to have such an amazing father.

Monkey is 2 weeks and 3 days old today! Honestly, I can't remember life without her. I know this is said all the time but I really mean it! I don't remember what it was like to sleep thru the night, to not have her to hold and kiss, to not here her high diva squel when I take too long to feed her. I thought that I would have a harder time emotionally with the fact that all these things that I get to experience with Monkey I never did or will with Micah. And although I've had these moments, I am at peace. I am not okay with never holding my son again or the fact that Monkey won't get to grow up with her brother but I am finally coming to terms in a way I never did before. I am not sure I can explain it any better than that.
Here are some pictures of Monkey!

SHE HAS ARRIVED!

At my Wednesday appt. the doctor told me that all was well, I was not dialated AT ALL and he'd see me the following Wednesday. Well, I guess the doctor didn't know that I was going to prove that the old wives tale that spicy food brings on labor was in fact true! My brother was in town Wednesday so we all went to a mexican restaurant. Monkey was born on Thursday, May 28, 2009. She is beautiful, healthy, and a joy.
