Lauren is here!!!!!!!!!!!

Lauren Rachel Byrnes joined our family 6 days ago.  She weighed in at 8 lbs 8 oz and 20 1/2 inches long.  She's perfect!!! 



My c-section went smoothly.  I have to tell you I was no less scared about this c-section than I was the first.  It was actually kind of terrifying.  Martin could see it in my face as they prepared to wheel me to the OR.  I did have the opportunity to share my concerns with the anesthesiologist.  He was great and made sure that I wasn't sick to my stomach through the entire procedure like I was with Kaylee.  I was kind of tired though!

Lauren is a dream baby!  She eats, sleeps and poops and barely cries! 

Kaylee is in love with her baby sister!

10 weeks to go

Wow!  Where did this pregnancy go?  It seems like I just found out that I was expecting!  January seems like just yesterday!!!!  As of today, I have 10 weeks to go until my scheduled c-section!!!  I'm currently scheduled to have Lauren Rachel on

9/26/11

10 weeks to get everything done....  I have lots of laundry to do!  10 weeks to mentally prepare myself!  10 weeks....

We'll see if I make it!  I'll be VERY pregnant by the time my date comes!  I'll be 39 weeks and 4 days pregnant.

I do hope I make it to 9/26/11.  It would have been my mother-in-law's birthday It would be a great tribute to Ragena to have her 11th grandchild on her birthday.

Welcome to our blog

I decided to start a blog to keep everyone connected and not forget the details of raising two girls.

We are expecting our second baby girl at the end of September.  Lauren Rachel is already making her presence known!

Two ultrasounds have shown that she is growing well and measuring a bit ahead of my due date.  During the second ultrasound, she was sticking her tongue out at us.  It was amazing to see Lauren's beautiful little face on a 3D ultrasound.  

We have been working on Lauren's room.  Kaylee is excited to be a big sister and helped pick out the wall colors.  The color is growing on me, but still is a bit Pepto-pink!
