What a wonderful week!!!

Our first week of September has been fun filled and very busy. The week started with Erik starting mother's day out on Tuesday (09/02). He was soooo excited to see his friends and his teacher Ms. Mary. He will be attending mother's day out 4 days a week this year.
On Wednesday, I had my weekly appointment to see the doctor...well, he admitted me to the hospital to monitor the baby. In a nut shell, we met Mary Beth on Thursday (09/04). The morning started with Dr. Banks breaking my water at 6:30am. Shortly after, I received my epidural and Mary Elizabeth Oxford (Mary Beth) entered the world at 9:04am. She weighed 6 lbs and 10 ozs. and was 19.5 inches long. The delivery was VERY FAST and relatively easy. Big brother Erik was even more excited to meet his baby sister than he was to start school. As I write this blog, I am resting in the hospital bed anticipating being discharged Saturday (09/06) morning. Enjoy the slideshow of the many pictures that were taken on Mary Beth's birthday!!!
