Sweet Sienna

I will update about the hospital story later. I don't have enough energy or brainpower to do that right now. For the moment I thought I would let you all know our schedule so you can come and visit! Many of you have been waiting and praying and we can't wait to see you!

This week:

Tuesday - In the afternoon (We have our first doctor's appointment in the morning).

Wednesday - Late morning/early afternoon. We are seeing our birthparent's that night so we won't be available.

Thursday - Anytime!

Friday - Anytime!

Saturday - We have a wedding so we won't be around...

Next week:

I'll let you know for sure but pretty much every day works!

See you all soon! I know there are many people who are anxious to see this precious little one!

Sienna Noelle

Sweet Sienna was born Thursday, April 21, 2011 at 7:24am.

She was 8 lbs. 14 oz. and 22 1/4 inches!

She is also the most beautiful baby I have ever seen. She is such a good little girl and sooo alert! We haven't brought her home yet...maybe tomorrow.

It really will be a glorious Easter!

Thank you for all your prayers!

Update

No baby today...she is stubborn.

The inducement is scheduled for Thursday.

Day 369

Could today be the day?

The day I have waited not just 9 months for...but YEARS for?!?!?

The day where I get to hold my daughter in my arms?

Our birthmother has her appointment at 2:00 today. This appointment will determine whether they induce today...or Thursday.

Please be today!

This morning I am trying to think of last minute things to get done: Laundry, vacuuming up Sam hair, going to the recycling center, showering...

By the way, I think all of your prayers are doing the trick because I actually slept surprisingly well last night.

Please continue to pray for our awesome birthparents, Dan and myself, and our baby girl.

We'll keep you up to date!

Stay tuned...

Impatiently Waiting...

We aren't the only ones waiting impatiently for Baby Girl!

Day 364

Well, today is the day that Dan picked for Baby girl to come. Normally, I don't like Dan to be right but in this case, I'm fine with that! In an effort to distract ourselves while waiting for her Dan and I have been going to town on our house. On Tuesday Dan built and put in our kitchen island. It looks AWESOME! I have so much more room to cook! What is super-cute is that Dan made one side more deep so that baby girl's high chair will be able to fit under it. Dan just needs to sand it down, stain it, and put the poly coat on it. Here is a picture of it so far: Dan has also been working on covering up the ugly wood paneling that has been in our living room. Dan thought it looked fine but finally agreed to cover it up when he had our house appraised and the appraiser said, "With all the work you have done on this house I'm surprised you didn't cover that up." Haha! Score! It already makes our living room look so much brighter! Dan just needs to sand the last coat, apply primer and paint. Needless to say, Dan has been very busy. I have been cleaning up after Dan's messes..and waiting impatiently for our baby. Who knows, perhaps today will be the day that I finally get to hold my child in my arms...
