After a 5 month break from the blog (we'll call it maternity leave), we are back!
To get you up to speed:
Grace was born on September 7, 2010. At 4 days overdue, we decided to go ahead and induce because she was an estimated 8 lbs 8 oz on Friday, September 3, her original due date! We went in on Tuesday morning at 3am, where we discovered I had been having contractions all day (so that is what those little cramps were!), but not really progressing much. At 12:22 pm, Grace entered the world weighing in at 8 lbs, 10.5 oz, and 22" long. Wow! Soon enough we brought her home, introduced her to her brother (the canine brother, Bociphus - more about those adventures later), and settled into our new groove. Since birth, she has remained in the 90-95th percentile in both height and weight, and she is doing great! I'm going to do some posts in the next few days to catch you up from birth until now, and then I'll try to be better about documenting her life.
If for no other reason, when I'm old and gone and she's wanting to hear stories about when she was little (like my sister and brothers and I ALWAYS asked our parents), she'll have a first hand account preserved for a lifetime!
